Federica Zammarchi - The Jazz Cries Jimi (A "Powerjazz" View On Jimi Hendrix's Music) (2012)

“As usual, all that I love writing and interpreting is transversal and contaminated, without a specific genre. It draws inspiration from a personal path of mine which goes through different styles and periods and that, in this work, un-casually met Jimi Hendrix’s music.
It was him, among the first ones, who broke all schemes, outside all canons, creating something unheard before, inspiring generations of musicians with his way of singing and playing, both alienated and marvellous, desperate in a way, sweeter than sweet in some other way.
On November 27th this year Jimi would have turned 70.
That’s the reason why I wanted to pay him this tribute, in my own way, with the collaboration of four excellent musicians who re-invented and personalized with me a repertoire made of “stepping stones”, loved and known by everybody.”
