When I present Jimi Hendrix in the fine arts context I show how he transformed blues music from the black musicians of America into psychedelic soundscapes, an international explosion that he managed via special FX and a blessed sense of imagination.

Showing how he used the city of London and British musical energy to leap to success, I focus on his classic version of "The Star Spangled Banner," (as performed at Woodstock Festival, 1969). This simple but brilliant work galvanized the world.
