Jimi Hendrix - Songs For Groovy Children : The Fillmore East Concerts [4 CD, 2019]

Sony’s Legacy Recordings issue a new live Jimi Hendrix box set. Songs for Groovy Children: The Fillmore East Concerts assembles all four historic debut concerts by the legendary guitarist as originally performed.

This is Hendrix with his ‘Band of Gypsys’ – a trio of himself, Billy Cox on bass and Electric Flag drummer Buddy Miles. They group debuted with four concerts, over two evenings, that literally marked the end of the 1960s and ushered in the 1970s. These shows were at the Fillmore East in Manhattan – two on New Year’s Eve 1969 and two on New Year’s Day 1970, each of which were professionally recorded.

The live album Band of Gypsys album was issued only four months later, in March 1970 and was edited and sequenced from songs performed during the two Fillmore sets on 1 January 1970. But it only featured six songs. These news sets take things considerably further, as you might expect.

The audio has been newly mixed (by Eddie Kramer) and restored in sequence without edits. In total there is over two dozen tracks that have either never before been released commercially or have been newly pressed and newly remixed. All audio was mastered by Grammy-winning engineer Bernie Grundman.

Since Rolling Thunder in 1972, percussionist Mickey Hart has been the Grateful Dead’s most prolific — and most inventive — solo artist.

The new record, produced by former Pretty Lights collaborator Michal Menert, features guests like Animal Collective’s Avey Tare and Tank and the Bangas Tarriona “Tank” Ball, plus recordings of two late Hart collaborators, Jerry Garcia and Nigerian drummer and activist Babatunde Olatunji, and field recordings from late ethnomusicologist Alan Lomax. Musicians on the album also include Zakir Hussain, Oteil Burbridge, Steve Kimock, String Cheese Incident’s Jason Hann, Sikiru Adepoju, Giovanni Hidalgo and Charles Lloyd.
