“It was only the second time that ( Experience bass guitarist ) Noel Redding had ever picked up a bass,” reveals the erstwhile drummer.”And Jimi’s amplifier was a little Burns amp, and not even very loud.” Yet Jimi Hendrix, guided by visionary producer/ mentor Chas Chandler from The Animals, mutated rock’s DNA, and we have been trying to decode the Hendrix genome for half a century. Rarely do those making history have any sense of import and consequence at the time, and Mitch Mitchell had no illusions of grandeur at that first London audition in 1966, either. It was amazing the detail in the memory of Jimi Hendrix Experience drummer the late John “Mitch” Mitchell regarding the first time he met and played with Jimi Hendrix. When he left home under Chas Chandler’s tutelage to launch his career in London in 1966, the only thing Jimi did not leave behind was the revolutionary music in his head. As a Black American, culturally Jimi Hendrix and his entire team were an ocean apart. Jimi’s producer, his recording engineer, business manager, and both band members were all white Englishmen, and not one had known Hendrix more than a single year when Are You Experienced? was released. The international bi-racial composition of the Jimi Hendrix Experience may have appeared appealing to some of the European audience, but America was about to erupt with violent race riots in several major US cities.

From this vantage point fifty-five years later it all looks and sounds so obvious, but on the eve of the May 1967 UK release of Are You Experienced? by Seattle native-now-London-based Jimi Hendrix ( August in the States), the sole person who could see rock’n’roll’s event horizon, former Animals bass player and now Hendrix’s English manager/ producer Chas Chandler, was already running out of money.
