When:
Short story:
During a B.B. King gig at The Generation Club, New York City, USA, Jimi Hendrix jams with B.B. King, Paul Butterfield, Elvin Bishop, David Sanborn, Buzzy Feiten and Al Kooper. Hendrix records the jam using his personal Sony two-track reel-to-reel recorder, and some tracks will appear on the posthumous LP Jimi Hendrix - Bleeding Heart.Full article:
Jimi Hendrix (onstage) : I’m sorry for being out of tune that last number, and I’m sorry for being out of tune this next number.
Buzzy Feiten (bass player) : Elvin (Bishop) suggested that I go down to a club called Generation and jam with Butterfield playing bass. Elvin made a call on my behalf and I went down there. I guess I would say I was eighteen and this was my first experience with anybody at that level.
I remember it was after hours and the headliner at the club that night was B.B. King. So, I go up on stage, I’m the first one up there, and I plug in my bass and the next thing I know, I was up on stage with B.B. King, Jimi Hendrix, Al Kooper, Butterfield, Dave Sanborn and various other artists.
I thought I had died and gone to heaven. I was this kid from the suburbs and these guys were my heroes. I was really liking it. It was too good to be true and I was nervous. Absolutely! I was terribly nervous.
