During the frontier of the 1960s, Jimi trained at jump school in Fort Campbell, Kentucky, yet for Private Hendrix, jumping out of airplanes couldn't satisfy his passion for music. He pleaded with his father to send his guitar to where he was stationed, and soon feigned a hurt back to attain an honorable discharge from the military. From a sideman playing behind some of the greatest names in R&B, to New York and across the continent to swinging London, the Jimi Hendrix Experience emerged as the hottest rock trio on the world stage.
