Cozy Powell - In From The Storm: The Jimi Hendrix Tribute Album

1995 - VA - In From The Storm: The Jimi Hendrix Tribute Album

Many reviews are overly critical but do have good points. When I first heard this I was put off by the orchestra but the more I listen the more the orchestra adds. The rhythm sections are excellent as are the guitarists and vocalists. I definitely would have enjoyed more cuts without the orchestra but again the added strings and brass are an extra sonic adventure. Before Jimi Hendrix perished, he said that his dream was to be able to see other cats jamming to his music and his goal in the seventies was to be a formal student of music theory and to jam with a live orchestra.
A tribute. It's not meant to improve or compete with Hendrix...that would be impossible.
