To: a fool in paradise
I highly recommend spending 90 mins watching a video of Juma Sultan who played conga and percussion for Jimi at Woodstock. Juma is a really knowledgeable cat, who is more of a jazz guy but who helped Jimi to move more in a direction that Jimi wanted.

I met Juma - he's the real deal: a "hippie" who totally gets that all those drugs and socialism wasn't what it was cracked up to be.

Gil Evans was supposed to work with Jimi Hendrix on an album. Later Gil Evans did an early 70s jazz album of covers of some of Jimi’s hits but they probably would’ve done new material had they collaborated.

12 tracks
Angel Crosstown Traffic Medley: Castles Made From Sand - Foxy Lady
Up From The Skies 1983 - A Merman I Should Turn To Be
Voodoo Chile
Gypsy Eyes Little Wing
Angel (alt tk) Castles Made Of Sand (alt tk)
Up From The Skies (alt tk) Gypsy Eyes (alt tk)

And who knows if Jimi might’ve done more with Arthur Lee/Love

or Johnny Winter (with whom he’d jam in the studio and clubs)
