What happened to his music after his death is the bigger tragedy. The way the Hendrix estate has whored out every half hearted or off pitch noodling session of Jimi that was ever recorded is unconscionable. Keep in mind that EVERY time Hendrix showed up to jam or just to goof off, noodle, or experiment with an arrangement there was someone there to roll tape. He was that good. It was all recorded and his estate has squeezed every penny out of every recording they've gotten their hands on by marketing them as his completed work.
The catalog of music that Hendrix felt was worthy of release to the public consists only of Are You Experienced, Axis: Bold As Love, and Electric Ladyland. Its possible for people that want to discover his music today to go online or to somewhere like Best Buy and buy a dozen different Hendrix CDs and still never get to hear anything that was a finished recording.
