Why did Jeff Beck call Jimi a god? Why was Jeff so in awe of Jimi?

Not dead.

Although, Hendrix is clearly dead, and died too young.

 

So did a couple of the Wilson brothers. But Brian's still here....just about. Same age as Macca who is playing to 23500 fans tonight in Manchester. How stupid on Manchester Derby night!

I gotta agree on Santana tho.

 

Oy Como Va, on the Lotus, Live In Cuba album is my 3rd most played iTune.

 

Tito Puente, the writer of that monster groove, used to pop into a Cuban diner in Jersey City.

 

One night, The Buena Vista Social Club played at that diner, after slaying at Carnegie Hall across the river. The culture of master players and some guy banging on a coke bottle with a rusty nail continues to this day in Latin music. Only Bluegrass offers that same mix these days.

 

Tito would sit in with the house band yearly there for a Christmas benefit for toys for poor kids, supposedly unannounced, but he always had his timbals set up there hours before.

 

I was more excited to see him at that legendary diner (The Hard Grove Cafe) than Bruce, who'd also eat there a couple of times a year.

Santana was 70/80 pop....well he was very popular, as was Steely Dan. But not really Jazz.

You're doing that thing where you argue with a voice in your head again, like when we fought over Bob's Big Boy Burger.

 

Santana was arguably the first world music crossover. If anyone has a right to shamelessly coast for decades, it's Carlos.

 

And what of his stuff with John McGloughlan? Pretty damn jazzy. Prob sold well into the dozens of albums.

Big Boy Burger?

That makes me think of the infamous Po' Boy Sandwich, from Down South....where....

JAZZ was born....

 

 

 

There are many great things, including Jazz, which have originated in America....out of the black experience, slavery, etc....

I could go for a Po' Boy for Christmas....

Sitting somewhere DOWN SOUTH.....

In Louisiana.

That's a matter of opinion.  Jimi was a rock-god.  Still is.

 

In my view, just listening to Jimi speak, in various good interviews, Jimi had a somewhat higher IQ than Beck, although...maybe not....
