"L'unico strumento a disposizione di Jimi era la sua scopa. Ma ascoltando i classici del blues, la sua chitarra iniziò a diventare molto più animata: suonava quella scopa con tanto vigore, che cominciò a perdere tutti i fili.” Jimi Hendrix: il suo nome è leggenda. Un'esistenza bruciata in un lampo, ma che ha segnato un'epoca, cambiando per sempre i paradigmi artistici e culturali del mondo che è venuto dopo. Il ritratto che Charles Cross fa di Hendrix in questa biografia sincera ci apre le porte dell'anima di un artista tra i più grandi nella storia della musica: dall'infanzia e adolescenza, difficili, a Seattle fino al suo ingresso nel…

Obszerna biografia Jimiego Hendriksa, niekwestionowanej legendy rocka. W odróżnieniu od autorów wcześniejszych książek poświęconych temu artyście, Charles R. Cross skupia się nie tylko na jego dokonaniach muzycznych, ale także przedstawia koleje krótkiego i burzliwego życia artysty, począwszy od trudnego dzieciństwa w Seattle, poprzez walkę początkującego muzyka z przesądami rasowymi, po błyskawiczną karierę na londyńskiej scenie, której ukoronowaniem stał się występ na koncercie w Woodstock w 1969. Przygotowując się do pisania, autor przeprowadził około trzystu rozmów z osobami, które dobrze znały genialnego gitarzystę. Część z nich po raz…

Биографията на най-великия китарист на всички времена ДЖИМИ ХЕНДРИКС проследява линията на живота му от сиатълските гета, през малки задимени клубове, до огромни зали от двете страни на океана, и фестивалите в Монтерей, Удсток и остров Уайт. Сеизмичната му поява на музикалната сцена е толкова кратка и толкова проникновена, че и до днес магията на изпълненията му приковава вниманието със същата интензивност както и в разгара на шейсетте. След него музиката никога повече не е същата, а и животът му е толкова скандален и изпълнен с обрати и крайности, че е просто неизбежно да не бъде митологизиран. Налице са всички съставки - китари, талант,…

Jimi Hendrix (Seattle 1942-Londra 1970) è apparso come una meteora ma, pur essendo scomparso da tempo, la sua musica e il suo spirito sono ancora ben vivi nei fan di tutto il mondo. Charles R. Cross in questo libro ne racconta la storia, dalla difficile infanzia e adolescenza a Seattle all'incredibile ascesa alla celebrità nella swinging London degli anni Sessanta, fino a Woodstock e agli ultimi giorni. È la storia di una parabola breve quanto significativa, che ha lasciato un segno indelebile nella storia del rock e della chitarra elettrica, la storia di una vita leggendaria, ricca di eccessi, ma anche la storia di una resistenza ad…

«Room Full of Mirrors» es una de las canciones más conocidas de Jimi Hendrix, uno de los mejores guitarristas del siglo XX y, sin duda, emblema de todo cuanto supusieron los años sesenta. Sin embargo, más allá de los meros tópicos sobre su virtuosismo y su estilo de vida desenfrenado, apenas se conoce nada sobre él. Su aureola mítica ha impedido que se comprenda en su justa medida la lucha que debió librar consigo mismo y contra un "stablishment" que tan sólo lo consideraba como un músico apto para el circuito reservado a la comunidad negra estadounidense. A diferencia de otras biografías, ésta recorre toda la vida del genial…

Jimi Hendrix : ce nom évoque instantanément un artiste qui mit le feu à sa guitare, au propre comme au figuré. Charles R. Cross, à qui l on doit déjà le monumental "Plus lourd que le ciel" consacré à Kurt Cobain, retrace dans "L expérience des limites" la vie de Jimi Hendrix. Une histoire puisée à la source, faite de témoignages inédits, qui prend une dimension humaine poignante : l enfant pauvre des quartiers noirs de Seattle, le musicien d accompagnement écumant les clubs de blues du sud des États-Unis, le guitariste devenu star moins d une semaine après son arrivée à Londres, l icône de Woodstock, le musicien de génie obsessionnel et…

James Marshall Hendrix brachte die elektrische Gitarre „zum Sprechen“. Vom Blues kommend revolutionierte er den Rock’n’Roll, indem er Rückkoppelungen, unvorhersehbare Frequenzüberlagerungen und Verzerrung zur Kunstform erhob – so virtuos wie er spielte sonst niemand. Er war der Star der Stars: Paul McCartney empfahl ihn für das Monterey-Festival, Eric Burdon bewunderte ihn, Keith Richards reagierte eifersüchtig. In nur wenigen Jahren war er aus ärmsten Verhältnissen zum Weltstar aufgestiegen. Mit seinen schrillen Bühnenklamotten und der wilden Afrofrisur wurde er zum Sexsymbol. Kaum jemand verkörperte die Träume und Ideale des „Summer Of…

'Charles R. Cross has got as close to the truth as anyone yet in his exhaustive and ground-breaking account of the life of the greatest guitarist in the history of rock.' Observer 'Meticulously researched' Mojo Jimi Hendrix continues to fascinate, and sell huge quantities of albums, even 35 years after his death. Quite apart from his influence on musicians and fans, a large part of the appeal of his sensational life story lies in the thrill of the era whose values he came to stand for. The Sixties still exert a massive pull over pop culture and this is genuinely a book for anyone interested, not only in Hendrix but also in anything to…

Knjiga Charlesa Crossa "Soba ogledala", potresna je biografija najvećeg rock gitarista svih vremena Jimija Hendrixa. Hendrixove koja vam donosi iscrpnu priču o odrastanju, slavi i tragičnom završetku čovjeka koji je čitav život posvetio glazbi i svojoj gitari. Jimi Hendrix rodio se 27. studenog 1942. u Seattleu, u Sjedinjenim Američkim Državama. Kao najstariji sin siromašne crnačke obitelji nije imao sretno djetinjstvo. Otac mu je bio teški fizički radnik, a majka alkoholičarka. Država je oduzela Jimijevim roditeljima pravo na skrb o njegovih petero braće i sestara, jer oni jednostavno nisu bili u stanju brinuti za svoju djecu. Nasilje u…

Charles R. Cross upustio se u četverogodišnje iscrpno istraživanje povijesti Jimija Hendrixa i obitelji Hendrix, a u tom razdoblju obavio je više od 325 intervjua s različitim osobama koje su bile povezane s Jimijem, uključujući njegovog oca Ala, brata Leona, člana Experiencea Noela Reddinga, Jimijeve brojne bivše djevojke i ljubavi, muzičare Erica Burdona, Petea Townshenda, Marianne Faithfull, Richiea Havensa i brojne druge. Iz toga je nastala vrlo zanimljiva priča koja teče kronološki, a sve su to intervjui od 2001. pa naovamo, osim nekih s Alom Hendrixom koji sežu u početak devedesetih. Tako iscrpan i temeljit rad polučio je…
