I was surprised, when I found out Hendrix received the "Screaming Eagles" patch with the US Army's 101 paratroopers. That explains a lot concerning his character. All the different genres Hendrix pioneered is just amazing. Funk Rock and Jazz_Fusion/(Jazz Rock), are just a few to mention.
(According to bassist/singer
Randy Jackson,
jazz fusion is an exceedingly
difficult genre to play. According to Jackson, " I...picked jazz fusion because I was trying to become the
ultimate technical musician-able to play anything. Jazz fusion to me is
the hardest music to play. You have to be so proficient on your instrument.
Playing five tempos at the same time, for instance. I wanted to try the toughest music because I knew if I could do that,
I could do anything.")
