Nguyên Lê - Celebrating Jimmy Hendrix (Festival d'Assier) (2003) [SATRip]

Tackling a set of ten songs belonging to a rock icon may seem blasphemous, but Lê finds ways to both revere the late guitarist and make each song his own. Here Lê performs 5 numbers from his 2002 album "Purple", together with Cathy Renoir (vocal), Michel Alibo (bass), and Karim Ziad (drums).

“

Music has its Gods and Myths, and Jimi Hendrix is one of them. While each note of his is still burning, I play his music with the same freedom and dedication as a jazzman will play a standard. Thus taking possession of his mythical songs, making them mine, as I always do. And giving voice to Electric Ladies from the wide world to reveal a new Experience. Music has no end. Once created, it belongs to those who dream with it. ~ Nguyên Lê
