Why is there no mention of his significant time in jail? 128.135.96.226 23:33, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Solo material

The article doesn't really mention the solo albums he made between Electric Flag and Band of Gypsies. Somebody gave me a copy of them--Pretty good, too.

I heard that his first album 'Expressway To Your Skull' was produced by Hendrix. Can anyone confirm that?

This page needs factchecking "Miles continued to work with Hendrix during the mid and late 1970s after his "Jimi Hendrix Experience" had failed to reform to record." But Hendrix died in 1970, see your Wikipedia entry on Hendrix!

[edit] The lede: an obituary?

As it reads as of this posting, the lede reads like an obituary instead of the beginning of an encyclopedia article, which should never start with an Associated Press announcement of the subject's death. 66.217.46.93 (talk) 01:21, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Some flaws in article

I believe this paragraph misrepresents the situation somewhat:

"Soon after the release of the groundbreaking Electric Ladyland album, Noel Redding (original Experience bass player) and Mitch Mitchell (the Experience drummer) had both parted company with Hendrix, not least because of constant wrangling between Hendrix's manager (Michael Jeffery) and his producer ( Alan Douglas), both vying for control of his career. Everyone wanted a piece of Hendrix's success."

Electric Ladyland was released in October 1968. Noel Redding left in June 1969 and Mitch Mitchell was still playing with Hendrix at the end of September 1969. Thiophene222 (talk) 21:45, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
