Otis Taylor: 'jimi Hendrix Tour'

JIMI HENDRIX ON HIS BLUES'

Whether he's playing a banjo, cello, mandolin, guitar or harmonica, you can be sure that such a talented musician as Otis Taylor won't disappoint. Besides bluegrass, gospel and jazz, he is first and foremost a bluesman, known for the so-called 'trance blues' with its obsessive and mesmerizing rhythms. As one of the most relevant blues artists of the last twenty years, he is celebrating another music god with his new project: "arguably the greatest instrumentalist in the history of rock music", aka Jimi Hendrix.

"Anyone who has paid attention to Otis Taylor's career understands that he is not a conventional bluesman, yet his diverse music, for all of its ambitious instrumentation, odd rhythmic meters, minor pentatonic scales, and textural strangeness embodies the spirit of the blues authentically and unmistakably. His is an iconic - and some would argue iconoclastic - vision." (AllMusic)

"Otis Taylor's mixture of ‘trance blues’ and tough social commentary remains unlike anything else in American music."(The Guardian)
