Answer: Jimmy James and the Blue Flames

Finally a frontman, this was Jimi's last stop before shooting to super-stardom fronting The Jimi Hendrix Experience.
2. Who was credited with introducing Jimi to Chas Chandler after seeing him perform at Cafe Wha?

Answer: Linda Keith

Linda was a one-time girlfriend of the Stones' Keith Richards...
3. When auditions were held for Jimi's new band in England, what was a big reason he chose Noel Redding for the bass guitar position?

Answer: Jimi dug Noel's wild hairdo.

Yeah, Jimi thought he really looked the part... even though Noel was a guitar player and had never played bass before.
4. As the story goes, Mitch Mitchell won the drummer's slot in a coin flip. What drummer was the runner-up?

Answer: Aynsley Dunbar

I think it was the right choice, though Aynsley went on to be a very successful drummer in his own right.
5. What was the first single released by the newly-formed Jimi Hendrix Experience in the U.K. ?

Answer: Hey Joe

Though not an original composition, Hey Joe propelled the Experience straight up the charts and on to international stardom.

Answer: Are You Experienced?

...one of the all-time great debut releases....

Another legendary moment, the infamous guitar-on-fire gig!

Answer: The Fillmore East

The definitive version of "Machine Gun" can be found on this recording... Simply devastating guitar work.
9. After the Band of Gypsys gigs, Jimi reconnected with Mitch Mitchell on drums, but Noel Redding was not asked to return. Instead, Jimi's old army buddy and Band of Gypsys bassist was kept on. What was his name?

Answer: Billy Cox

The addition of Cox to the Hendrix/Mitchell equation was, in my opinion, the best line-up Jimi ever played with.

An early end to an unfettered spirit...
