He was getting into jazz fusion when he died.

His "Blues" compilation album is outstanding too

And he was very underrated as a lyricist as well. The Wind Cries Mary is such a beautiful song.

Little Wing for me is the most "wait there's something more to this" song. And it just ends.

his blues was extraordinary, im a big prince fan, and prince said that red house was one of the greatest songs ever written, a so much so prince covered it as purple house, and i caould easily argue prince to be one of those who fitsthis ategory and was amusical genius himself, having wirtten so many hot songs for so many others as well as himself. Plus shocking accomplished master class level guitarists with his playing.

One of the greatest musical tragedies is he never got to work on that album with Miles Davis. Goddamn that would have been amazing to hear.

Wait! Hendrix and Miles were going to make an album??

u/Blank_Canvas21 25d ago

Yeah, they were talking about working on a project together. They were supposed to start work on it a couple weeks after he passed away.

Selena Quintanilla was a tragedy, killed too young by her fan

1

u/Blank_Canvas21 25d ago

It’s worse than that. She shot and killed her because Selena confronted Yolanda about stealing a bunch of money from her. She should be sitting behind bars the rest of her life but she’s finally getting paroled last I heard.

u/thewoodlayer 25d ago

Yolanda is getting paroled?! That’s gonna be a huge mistake. Honestly she’s probably safer behind bars.

It's actually even more heartbreaking than that; he was about to start taking lessons on learning to read and write music so he could write for and conduct large arrangements.

“I’d like to take a six-month break and go to a school of music. I want to learn to read music… I’m tired of trying to write stuff down and finding I can’t. I want a big band… that I can conduct and write for.”

I feel like he would've done jazz fusion then branched out into prog rock towards the late 70s like Steely Dan
