A contemporary of the Beatles, Bob Dylan and John Coltrane, Jimi Hendrix (1942–1970) occupies a unique place in the history of music – particularly due to his distinctive approach to the electric guitar and studio recording techniques. At the epicentre of the 1960s – a decade marked by transgressions and protests of all kinds – he created a sound that defined an entire generation in search of its identity.
His untimely death only served to amplify his legend. Frank Médioni, producer of the programme “Jazzistiques” on France Musique and author of numerous books on jazz and pop music, invites us to discover the man whom Frank Zappa considered “one of the most revolutionary figures in pop music, both musically and sociologically speaking”. Although he recorded only four albums, Jimmy Hendrix is, after Elvis Presley, the musician whose posthumous works have sold the most.
