Paul Gilbert discography.[cover]

Tribute to Jimi Hendrix.

MGI Records MGR CD 1018


Recorded at the 23rd Frankfurt Jazz Festival (June 2nd 1991) and released, in Europe, on MGI records...

Some quotes from the liner notes:

"In his "Tribute to Jimi", Paul Gilbert, the twenty five year old shooting star, recreates the aura of Hendrix' hits. In a delicate deconstruktion (sic) Gilbert combines the soulful moans and cries of the master with a cool designed hip-scale"

"Beside this successful activity (Mr. Big) Gilbert cultivates his virtuosity in numerous sessions and his hobby band "The Electric Fence". With these cohorts he delves into the sixties to synthesize his rapid "string skipping" with the old blues feeling."

"When he took the stage at the 23rd German Jazz Festival in Frankfurt this alchemy worked perfectly."
