A safe kind of high

A tribute portrait to the greatest guitarist of all time, Jimi Hendrix. Over the course of his short career he embraced the influences of blues, rock, jazz and soul, changing the face of rock-n-roll as we knew it. Music was his safe kind of high. He stunned his audience with instrumental virtuosity and charismatic performances, leaving a jaw-dropping amazement behind.

“Hendrix was a magpie. He would take from blues, jazz, he’d listen to Mozart, he’d read sci-fi and Asimov and it would all go through his head and come out as Jimi Hendrix. He was left-handed, but I remember people throwing him a right-handed guitar and Hendrix picking it up and playing it upside down.” — Keith Altham
