oh yes...what a great guitar Sound...oh my ...this Rocks 

Wow what an awesome tone on both ends, compliments each other so well !

Incredibly smooth legato playing, love it.

@fingerstyle_guitar: a big one Frizzy!  Unreal playing

Back to listen to this amazing jam again. Spectacular on all counts. And I hope the version with Tony is still in the works....

Oh yea - burning this up Marco!  Great great playing - damn

It is with great excitement that we release this early version of Hendrix's famous Who Knows, which he recorded in the last year of his life in 1970 with his Band of Gypsies soul band.  We will be releasing the full version in a little bit with Tony Bluestone's strong vocals added, so this is just a tease for all the guitar and Jimi lovers out there.  Hendrix left the groundbreaking Experience band in 1969 and created a soul power trio with his buddies Buddy Miles and Billy Cox.  One album was released - a live album from NY's Madison Square Garden.  This is one of the great tracks from that monumental New Year's Eve night.

This recording features two of my favorite guitarists - Marco Oversteegen and Rients Draasima.  Coincidently both are from the Netherlands.  For me, Marco has the closest sound on SC to where Jimi was, and since Jimi and Miles are my two greatest musical inspirations (of many)it is something very very close to my heart.  No one plays Jimi as Marco does so he was the natural and first choice to join this.  Rients comes from a different harmonic musical world, as you will hear in his soloing and approach.  Extraordinary is a slight understatement.  We've been fortunate to have him join this, as he has been completing what will be a remarkable fusion album that is about to be released.

For this recording Rients was gracious to do the drum programming, I have recorded the bass lines (same as Billy Cox used in the original recordings), and we all solo.  You will hear me with a brief synth solo here while the rest of the playing is Marco and Rients'.

Thanks as always for your generous time listening, for your comments and for your shares.  The photo here I took at Big Sur, California, about an hour and a half South from where Jimi played the legendary Monterey Festival with his Experience band
