"Mr. Jimi Hendrix, one of my favorites. He was one of my idols.The guy that used to manage him [Alan Douglas] said Jimi would talk about me a lot. I wish I had known him, because I was a greate fan of his."

..."Jimi Hendrix came from the blues, like me. We understood each other right away because of that. He was a great blues guitarist. From the time that Jimi Hendrix and I had gotten tight, I had wanted that kind of sound because the guitar can take you deep into the blues."

Miles Davis

..."I had tremendous respect for him. To me, he is still way, way above any other guitar player who has ever been. Not just technically - everything; feelingwise, and he could use gimmicks, really make them work for him."

Johnny Winter
