Negative Positive
Title: American Music
Review: I have to take exception to the reviews of the Captain from North of England, and Willem of Holland. Perhaps their European roots leave them ill equipped to understand the real roots of American music, and especially the blues.Friends of Jimi Hendrix have said that before his death he had talked about playing with Miles, moving more toward jazz. Jazz appeared early in the Experience recordings, in the Mose Allison influenced "Up From the Stars," and other songs. Jean-Paul Bourelly did play with Miles, and I don't think it is an exaggeration to say that he understood Jimi's vectors exceptionally well.This is a superb album by a gifted player. It's also an honest tribute, in the artist's own voice, to one of the forces that helped shape it.
Is the review positive or negative?
