Sorry for the interruption, but I just noticed a post of mine disappeared from this thread. Is that because I said stuff "against" JH? Restoring from memory:

Also, also: Posts occasionally disappear. I've lost a couple recently, myself. One of the unfathomable mysteries of Teh Interwebz.

It's not fair to judge it by the Hendrix originals. The guitar work does include John Abercrombie, Keith Loving and Ryo Kawasaki. But the guitar is generally the least interesting part of it. The rhythm section with Don Pate on bass and Bruce Ditmas on drums just rocks, and the horns (including a young David Sanborn) really stand out.
Anyway if you're tired of listening to Purple Haze every other day on Channel 26 on Sirius/XM, give it a listen. It'll put a new perspective on Hendrix.

Having listened to a lot of big band music from all eras, I really appreciate the craftsmanship that went into it.

I can't disagree with any of that.
