Book Description
Hendrix was taking London by storm, beginning the journey that would establish him as one of the most influential and charismatic rock stars of all time. Considered by many to be the finest studio portraits ever taken of Hendrix and the Experience, these extraordinary images capture the acclaimed musician at a defining moment in his brief but spectacular career. Since the early 1990s, select photographs from Mankowitz's sessions with Hendrix have been widely used as covers for Hendrix re-issue albums, and are now iconic in their own right. The Experience: Jimi Hendrix at Mason's Yard showcases these famous images while reproducing Mankowitz's entire Hendrix portfolio, including his contemporary color reinterpretations of the archive. In an accompanying essay, rock critic and Hendrix historian Richie Unterberger discusses the significance of Mankowitz's photos to the Hendrix legacy and puts the Mason's Yard sessions in the context of Hendrix's explosive rise to fame in 1967. A brief encounter with Jimi when he was enjoying the spotlight for the first time, this is a candid record of a legend.

Book Description
I am thrilled to be able to announce that my entire Jimi archive of some 96 separate images plus several that I have re-created in color are being published by renowned Berlin publishers Schwarzkopf & Schwarzkopf, announces famed photographer Gered Mankowitz. He opened his photo studio at 9 Masons Yard in the heart of London's West End in 1963. The noted fashion photographer was on the leading edge of the British music revolution and soon became the go to guy for British pop stars. In 1967, he was assigned to the Jimi Hendrix Experience. I had the privilege to work with Jimi twice in 1967. On both occasions he, together with Mitch and Noel, came to my studio in Masons Yard, in London's West End, Mankowitz recalls. We got on incredibly well and I found him to be a most charming, humble and witty person as well as a willing and enthusiastic subject. He was very easy to photograph because apart from having tremendous charisma, he had wonderful style. Images from those sessions have become almost as iconic as Jimi himself. They have been used on album covers (The Ultimate Experience), headed the 1992 Jimi Hendrix Exhibition world tour and adorned numerous Hendrix posters. His portrait of Hendrix titled Blue Smoke was named one of the 50 Greatest Rock Portraits of all time by Rolling Stone magazine. This superb hardbound and slip-cased volume, in both English & German, is a Crown folio-size (10,5 14,5) and offers large format high quality reproductions printed on high-quality 200g art paper in duo-tone and four color. The Mankowitz collection offers one of the most definitive looks at the photogenic Jimi Hendrix. This is another volume that is an absolute must for inclusion in a Hendrix collection.

Book Description
Jimi Hendrix, one of the great instrumentalists in rock history, pioneered amplified sound that extended the scope of the guitar into the urban landscape. In this book, Marie-Paule Macdonald situates Hendrix’s trajectory through the places he made music, translating an innovative sense of space into his songs. Macdonald follows Hendrix from the Pacific Northwest to the California coast to New York City, from his musical beginnings as a youth in Seattle to his launch, touring career, and up until his last weeks in London. She charts the surroundings of a genuine inner-city dweller, a nighthawk and wanderer who roamed the streets and alleys of everyday neighborhoods and haunted seedy basement bars and intimate clubs—as performer or audience member. She explores how the rumble, uproar, babble, and discord of urban life inspired Hendrix to incorporate noise into his powerful repertoire. Tracking the variety of places where Hendrix played—from open-air stages to dilapidated ballrooms—she shows how space eventually became a process, as Hendrix would eventually commission an architect and sound engineer to build an urban recording studio that would capture the reverberation, bounce, sustain, and echo that he heard and played. Crackling with the electrifying sound of explosive creativity, Jimi Hendrix explores place and space to offer fascinating new insight into Hendrix’s resounding talent.
