Hendrix, Miles and the record that wasn't

and met at a hair salon. Jimi loved his hair and Miles loved Jimi's hair. That's how it all started. Of course the music of both was already ruminating in their heads. Hendrix was on top and Miles was revolutionizing jazz. It was 1969 and drugs and alcohol were very present in their lives. Miles and Jimi began dating their respective girlfriends. They went to bars and had a good time. “They gave us a table in the corner, and even covered us with a curtain so we could smoke a joint. They served us wine and played Jimi's music over the loudspeaker”, recalled the guitarist's ex, Carmen Borrero, about one of his visits to the exclusive Small's Paradise, the famous nightclub in Harlem. Jimi started buying jazz records and Miles was completely crazy about Jimi's music. "It's that damn Machine Gun and son of a bitch." he said after listening to Band of Gypsys. This is how the idea was born. Jimi and Miles would record a record. Jimi cared very little about formalities and contracts, so he agreed on a day with Miles to get together to record and told him who he wanted on rhythm: none other than Paul McCartney on bass and Tony Williams on drums. There was a problem anyway. The money. The damn money. It seems that Miles was a little jealous of how much Jimi was earning, so he tried to negotiate with Hendrix's manager, Michael Jeffrey, to advance him a few thousand dollars. But there was no case. Thus, greed frustrated what could perhaps have been the best album in the history of jazz and rock. There was still a lucky one. His name: Terry Reid, an English friend of Hendrix's. In Charles Cross's biography of Jimi, Room Full of Mirrors, Reid recounted that he was in Jimi's New York apartment one afternoon when Miles Davis arrived. The two locked themselves in a room and began to play. He trumpet with mute and acoustic guitar. “It was truly beautiful, it was a tasteful performance, nothing flashy or over the top. In the context of jazz, Jimi kept pushing the boundaries, and all those jazz guys respected him like no one else in the rock world," Reid said. Shortly afterwards they crossed paths at the Isle of Wight Festival. Jimi had very little time left to live. Miles was more vital than ever. He had been presenting Bi***es Brew for a year, his most innovative album, with John McLaughlin on guitar, to whom Miles said: “I want you to play like Hendrix”. During the time that the relationship lasted, Miles and Hendrix shared many other things, such as Betty Mabry, Davis's wife, who had a lot to do with that first hair encounter. In terms of image, it was not only the hairdresser that brought them together. Miles changed his formal attire for a more extravagant one thanks to the influence of Hendrix. For celebrated bassist Dave Holland, "Miles had been deeply enriched by Hendrix's music." It's a logical explanation if you analyze his music from 1968 or 1969. In his biography of Miles, Ian Carr cites an opinion of the trumpet player: “Hendrix didn't know anything about modal music, he was just a born musician; you know, he hadn't studied, he didn't care about the market at all”.

Hendrix died on September 18, 1970. Miles attended his funeral and was devastated, to the point that he went to the last funeral he attended in his life.
