interviews with Hendrix himself, commentary from well-known friends and
musicians including Paul McCartney, Noel Redding, Mitch Mitchell, Billy
Cox, Eddie Kramer, Steve Winwood, as well as revealing glimpses into
Jimi from those closest to him. The film details the meteoric rise of
the Experience, the creation of his groundbreaking music, the building
of Electric Lady Studios, his state of the art recording facility in

of mainstream exposure and recognition, but his influential music and
riveting stage presence left an enduring legacy.
