Hendrix's most commonly recognized (guitar) style that made him (to that time) wholly unique was explosively expressive, and for the most part, improvisationally inspired (and abstractly derived from the melody). That type of playing would not be allowed or encouraged as an accompanist. as an accompanist, one is required to support the main act, usually a vocalist. That job is to make the vocalist look/sound good. barney kessel, who was the best of all the wrecking crew's guitarists, was one of the greats on jazz guitar. He was legendary. but as a wrecking crew member, his job was totally different than his job when soloing on a jazz composition, or even as a jazz accompanist. here is an album in which Barney's incredibly restrained style of playing makes the entire album a classic: it certainly wasn't due to anything Julie London did. lol Hendrix was a unique talent, much like an abstract expressionist (in painting). By and large, if abstract expressionists were required to paint figurative scenes, they were less than impressive (look up rothko's figurative art or jackson pollock's non abstract art. it's pedestrian stuff). But when their abstracted/expressionistic work is taken in, it's hard to deny their talent/genius. Hendrix was like that, not terribly impressive in traditional roles as a guitarist., eg., he couldn't play classical guitar, jazz, commercial jingles, etc., but he was extraordinarily original and athletic with regards to improvisational rock music being expressionistically and abstractly presented. I don't think it's really a matter of being appreciated. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p9WRYNOfz92Ymas.html

20:40 Loving this wonderful performance ... tried to find out more about the Hi Tones, but no luck.

Hello Doris. I agree it is a wonderful performance in my view the best piece in the entire show. I've listened to this many times. Beautiful. I'd love to get a hold of that track : 'Come Fly With Me' - can it be bought from anywhere? Thanks

@@zesty9815 Brilliant! I was searching for "The Hi-Tones" on Google which is why I couldn't find anything. I'm in the UK too and love a bit of Northern Soul (although I'm not hardcore). Really interesting biographical material about these guys. The harmonies on "Come Fly With Me" are beautiful. I'll definitely check out their other stuff. If you ever hear of a re-release of CFWM or the masters becoming available, please let me know! Thanks again

Very charming man.

Was this the inspiration for Soul Train? I grew up with the Soul Train show. I loved funk and Motown. Not to mention all of the beautiful girls.

@@fukhue8226 Correct...

I remember him, he was teflon slick. The best at what he did obviously. Had the best name too. "Noble Blackwell", can't beat that one!

What’s a blackhost?

Yeah. He was on a Journey. A pilgrimage.Putting in his dues. Soaking up the feel of the Scene. Working on a recipe like a young gun. A matter of time.

Looks like Jimmi broke a Guitar string after 1:30 can see him grab it and push it away.

@@lioncurlew Nope, that was one of his stage moves running the back of his arm up and down the neck. He does it again with the back of his hand around 2:33. You can also hear him deviating from the standard riff he was supposed to be playing during the sax solo. It was these kinds of things that drew attention to himself that got him fired from a lot of bands. Only the Isley Brothers and Curtis Knight encouraged him to be himself and highlighted his playing in their stage shows. He was fired by Little Richards brother who was the band manager for constantly being late, not because he was showing Little Richard up by wearing a fancy shirt as Richard liked to tell the story. Even when he had a good job like the Isley's or playing with King Curtis, he would just stop showing up for gigs and disappear without a word. It was around this time that he stopped playing R&B gigs and put together his own band Jimmy James and the Blue Flames and became the house band at the Cafe Wah where Linda Keith brought Chas Chandler to see him and by 1966 he was in England with a new name and a new band and new fame.

@@lioncurlew it was a fly on the sixth fret.

@@kkjhn41 And I love it that he still does it when he's on his own for all to see.

*..the Song “ Shot Gun” (1st song) would be banned by the Communist Democratic Left..*

I saw him immediately!

sound engineers turned him down, prevent him going off on 1, taking over the whole show, classic..

sure is

mamachip yes it is!YEAH!

@@simonbeckford3025 thats why Little Richard had to let Jimi go from his band: back up musicians had to stay in the background, not play guitar with their teeth upstaging the star! lol

I remember watching this when I was 9. 1965 in Hopkinsville Ky

Sunday night we all 10 kids. Couldn't wait😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😊😊

Good ear most people don't even notice what he was doing.

What theological seminary was lil richard attemding? American baptist

This is a fabulous program. Agreed! Thank you for sharing.

@@MrYtubenewsanchorman Seventh-day Adventist

GREAT! MORE! MORE!

So the king casuals and johnny Jones was the house band, I noticed only jimmy on one song, and what looks like Johnny on the guitar the rest of the show

Yeah itching to cut loose!

Hungry cat locking into the groove. Learning the craft. Can hear the tapestry in the jazzy fills. The showmanship like he was out to be a band leader. Guess it was meant to be.

When musicians used their talents not auto tune.😁

Jackie Shane.. transgendered superstar!

That was Jackie Shane and was much more polished than he showed on this song.Listen on KZfaq to some of his live stuff from Toronto days.An unreal act was Jackie Shane.

Jimi Hendrix playing the Bass!!!!

bassbug62PB Jimi's not playing bass. He's farthest to the left playing lead.

@@bassbug62PB jimi is lead. this is his earliest known recording

@@patricktoth322 Jimi's also hamming this up. Check 1:58 and 2:57. At the later one, the lyric is "Do the turn, yeah!" and then Jimi gives some sort of hand motion in the background.

Steve Riddle You're right, Steve! He must have left Little Richard's Upsetters Band in 1964 or early '65.

+Steve Riddle ISNT THAT BILLY COX ON BASS WITH ANOTHER GROUP ON THIS SHOW ALSO WITH LEED SINGER FRONTING BAND ITS CALLED IF YOU DONT WORK?

+stuart dinkes I'll have to check that video again Stuart. You know, I have a vast collection of R&B songs but have never heard of any of the artists on that Night Train video. Thanks so much for your interest in the History of Rock & Roll. I co-DJ Oldies radio shows on KVMR-FM. You can get it on the Internet. It's all Oldies, R&B, Rock & Roll, Blues, Country, Jazz, Cajun, Etc. Later Man, RoCk & RoLL SteVe

+Steve Riddle IM PRETTY SURE ITS BILLY COX ON BASS IF YOU LOOK CLOSLEY ON IF YOU DONT WORK YOU DONT EAT JAMES CROWFORD! ITS HIS STYLE OF BASS PLAYING TO THE WAY HES HOLDING IT!!

Steve Riddle O M G !

Looks like Jimi is TOTALLY in step with his band mates...maybe my eyes decive me...

Just see him on the first song I think?

is it probably Wilson Pickett? using a stage name like Travis Johnson (Buddy and Stacey) singing in the first tune

John Brown nope,I know what Wilson looks like,this isn't him. but this guy was good.

yeah I get it he is good I do not know if he made more impact in the biz but they are all spectacular perfornances

John Brown definitely.

XXX

+Clipstone Films IF YOU LOOK CLOSLEY ON JAMES CROWFORD IF YOU DONT WORK YOU DONT EAT THATS BILLY COX ON BASS YOU PLAYED WITH JIMI. BILLY HUNG OUT THERE IN NASHVILLE AFTER HIS SERVICE DUTY IN THE ARMY.

+stuart dinkes Jimi and Billy were both in the house band on Night Train. What I really wanna see is Jimi's instrumental version of Bo Diddley's "Road Runner". Seriously badass surf-y version. That's the holy grail of Hendrix footage for me. Saw it one late night in '65 with my own two eyes. If anyone knows anything about this lemme know.

+Stephen Peterman THE ONLY THING I SAW JIMI ON WAS SHOTGUN HERE ON THIS SHOW. WOULD LOVE TO SEE HIM DO ROAD RUNNER. BILLY COX IS ALSO ON THE BEAT SHOW IN TEXAS IN IN 1966 ALSO ON KZfaq! BACKING FREDDIE KING, BARBARA LYNN AND OTHERS THAT WAS A GOOD SHOW ALSO, BUT DONT KNOW IF JIMI EVER PLAYED THERE OR WAS GONE TO ENGLAND BY THAT TIME.

Did you ever find anymore ? I too would love to track these down ...!

shes a good singer

Buelligan88 These acts are, most definitely, NOT "b-grade." These acts are phenomenal artists making phenomenal music. Just a friendly reminder that there's more to music than riff/"classic" rock.

I like anchovies.

@@damonlevine Absolutely! Jackie was brilliant.
