When:

Short story:

Jimi Hendrix jams after midnight in the Wreck Bar, Castaways Hotel, Hallandale, Miami, Florida, USA, with Frank Zappa, Arthur Brown and John Lee Hooker. Later in the day Hendrix formally signs with Reprise Records in America, and Noel Redding flies back to England.

Full article:

Arthur Brown (musician) : It was one of those places where they had go-go dancers on the tables, so I got right into the spirit of the thing and started dancing on the table-top, and removing items of clothing. Frank Zappa looked up at me and said, 'Arthur - control yourself.' It did develop into a jam later on though, with Jimi and me and Zappa.

Trixie Sullivan (Hendrix employee) : They had a jam session that night. Who else was there, oh, John Lee Hooker, Frank Zappa … it was absolutely incredible. … music like you never heard. Everyone played each other's instruments. Brilliant.
