Jimi Hendrix - Keith Shadwick

Many books about Hendrix concentrate on showmanship and rock-and-roll excess
but Keith Shadwick's Jimi Hendrix: Musician brings to Hendrix's musical legacy as a guitarist
singer
and composer a depth of analysis missing from other accounts of his career
placing Hendrix's work in the broadest possible musical context
encompassing rock
pop
soul
funk
jazz
blues
fusion
and a range of classical disciplines. The book was first published in 2003; sadly
Shadwick died from cancer in 2008 at the age of 57. This new edition in a compact format is published as a tribute to Shadwick
who was described in his obituary in the UK newspaper The Independent as
an authority on classical music who also wrote in-depth biographies of Led Zeppelin and Jimi Hendrix. He was a jazzer who rocked and championed Grecki.
