The Norwegian guitar player Terje Rypdal sent Jimi Hendrix a copy of his new band's record around that time. And he wrote "a gift from one musician to another" on it. The band was called Dream and the record was called Get dreamy. Many years later he was contacted by a record collector who had bought Jimi Hendrix' old record collection. The collector just wanted him to know that he had found the record, and that it was well used.

Jimi knew great sounds. Jimi's sound was and remains innovative -- bluesy psychedelia -- king tone, baby! Jimi inspired a lot of guitarists the world-over. He is missed. Likewise for Chaz Chandler, Mitch Mitchell and Noel Redding.

Jimi was right, rock music in the late 60s DID explode into a beautiful scene. One that we are still processing and being inspired by today.

What a great snapshot in time. I still wasn’t born for another 20 years but I feel so connected to this. Cream In full stride. I’ve read Cream was Hendrix’ favorite at the time. “Tin soldier” is maybe my personal favorite small faces song.

I think it was released within a couple of weeks after Jimi arriving in England. Jimi and the Experience took shape quickly and made the best of it.

Again a very informative episode! In particular 'Tin Soldier' and 'Somebody To Love' Jimi mentioned, great songs from 1967!

Fascinating episode of YP! It shows what great taste Jimi had in contemporary music at that time, The Nice were an amazing band and an electrifying live act. Roland Kirk’s multi-instrumental skills were extraordinary… I read that he developed a ‘circular breathing’ technique that allowed him to play two or three saxophones at once, not forgetting the nose whistle he often ended numbers with!

Zero ego… Crazy intelligent and seems like he would be your guy to listen to your master tapes and offer one respectful tip that changes everything.

1967 the most awesome time for music. Well never have awesome music like this again.

Great recommendation! and those answers given by Hedrix really captured exactly what I imagined he might say..he was so into the culture and the words he chooses and this explanations are so happy psychadelic!

On Sunday 4th June 1967, guitarist Jimi Hendrix paid the ultimate compliment to The Beatles by performing the title track from their ‘Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band’ album live just three days after its release. Paul McCartney and George Harrison were in the audience that day as The Jimi Hendrix Experience headlined the bill at London’s Saville Theatre.

Thanks for the rerun. Jimi is one of my 3 all time favorite musicians so I'm fascinated by anything he says. Nice clip of Roland Kirk. Anyone who ever saw him live says it was totally unforgettable. He sometimes played 3 horns at the same time as well as a nose whistle? flute? He had mastered the technique of circular breathing so he could play nonstop for as long as we wanted. What a creative talent! Amazing!

I felt a little sad when he said that he wanted to study music and write mithology, he was so young, passionate and full of dreams when he passed away

Hendrix did experiment with piano, Hammond, harpsichord and flute on Electric Ladyland, but didn't really seem to take it much further than that. Incidentally, on his interplanetary themes, he had already done the acid jazz come beat poetry that was Third Stone From The Sun from his debut album, Are You Experienced ....a psychedelic masterpiece.

Yep. It was actually Hendrix who gave him the "California" nickname. It appears that when Randy California was a member of Hendrix's band in Greenwich Village, there was another guy in the band who was also called Randy. So Randy, who was from California, became Randy California. And the other Randy, who was from Texas, became Randy Texas.

Out of sight man, it was a shame this got taken down in the first place. Jimi's observations are always interesting to hear

We can't even imagine how many great ideas Hendrix had, and what kind of music he would make. It would probably totally change the way music sounds, because many artists would be influenced by the music he would make. Also, such a sad thing he needed a rest already at the late 1967, considering how much he worked until 1970. I'm glad he mentioned Randy California (now i've learned his last name was Cassidy).
