PURPLE DAYZ:

My Time With Jimi Hendrix
by Jonathan Stathakis

Jimi and Jonathan work on a secret film project during the he last year and a half of Jimi’s tumultuous life.

Photographer and film maker Jonathan Stathakis was an insider in the Hendrix camp, photographing Jimi in the studio and at Woodstock (the iconic ‘fringe jacket’ picture is his) as well as collaborating on the developing film treatment. Jonathan witnessed many events misinterpreted in the press and by some biographers.  His personal conversations with Jimi are recounted and challenge misconceptions about Hendrix - his growing distrust of his management, his desire to do new and creative things rather than go out and “play the hits” and his desire to create the film whose audio would be all his on guitar.  “I can make my guitar speak” he tells Jonathan.  Only Jonathan knows the details of the Avril project.

Through Woodstock, Band of Gypsies, meeting artists like Paul Butterfield and Miles Davis, Jimi’s eclectic entourage and ‘Electric Ladies’, friction with management, a kidnapping, pressure from the Black Panthers, the building of Electric Ladyland and up to the day of Hendrix death, Jonathan Stathakis tells an intimate story of a unique part of Jimi Hendrix at his best, as one of the most creative and talented rock musicians of all time in the tumult of the end of the 1960’s.
