JHflyerBk.jpgJimi Hendrix, This Flyer Said to be recorded at Jimi's house at Traver Hollow Road near Shokan, NY in 1969 (from Jimi's original home recording tapes).

In his book, Crosstown Traffic, Charles Shaar Murray makes a case for Hendrix and his impact on the then-new generation of jazz players such as Pat Metheny, Lester Bowie and Defunkt.

And those listening to This Flyer for the first time will probably walk away with the impression that Hendrix was steeped into jazz, improvisation, the avant garde, rather than as a hard rocker/guitarist. Just sample the first four tracks on Disc One.

There are 15 tracks in all.

Trifles: Money Origami. A Japanese site documents a hobby that boils down to folding paper hats onto portraits of the luminaries on world currencies.

Would people do these things if the Internet were not there to document their collections?
