Band of Gypsys

"Band of Gypsys" is a live album by legendary guitarist Jimi Hendrix, released in 1970. It features Hendrix performing with a new group of musicians—bassist Billy Cox and drummer Buddy Miles—forming a bluesy, soul-infused band different from his earlier work. Recorded during concerts on New Year's Eve 1969 and New Year's Day 1970 at the Fillmore East, the album highlights a raw, energetic sound with improvisation and powerful vocals. It marked a departure from Hendrix’s psychedelic style, emphasizing groove and rhythm, and is considered a significant part of his musical evolution.
