Album Description:
Cooper's interpretations of these classic tracks are infused with his own jazz sensibilities, resulting in a unique blend of rock and jazz. Cooper's guitar playing is virtuosic and expressive, and he is backed by a talented group of musicians, including bassist Tony Levin, who would go on to work with Peter Gabriel and King Crimson, and drummer Bobby Moses, who had previously played with jazz legends such as Herbie Hancock and Miles Davis. The album was well-received by critics and fans alike, and is still regarded as one of the best Jimi Hendrix tribute albums ever made. It showcases Cooper's skills as a guitarist and arranger, as well as his deep appreciation for Hendrix's music. |
