During the small hours one night in Spring 1969, John McLaughlin found himself jamming with Jimi Hendrix. But what should have gone down as a peak life moment turned into a “disaster” because the jazz guitar great had the wrong guitar – and no money to do anything about it.
The jam took place at the Record Plant on March 25, 1969. The New York studio, which had opened up two years prior, had been used by Hendrix to record portions of his third album with the Experience, Electric Ladyland. That night, it played host to quite the party.
