Jimi Hendrix Black Legacy - A Dream Deferred

Jack Dappa Blues Heritage Preservation Radio

On this episode of Jack Dappa Blues, I speak with Corey A Washington, author of the book "Jimi Hendrix Black Legacy (A Dream Deferred). Corey shares with us the importance of the book, as well as the importance and relevance Jimi has and is in the Black community, the history of black music & activism, along with the contributions to the Blues People! Jimi Hendrix - Black Legacy (A Dream Deferred) is the culmination of a two-decade journey of author Corey Washington's exploration of Jimi Hendrix's complex and misunderstood relationship and impact, on the Black Community. Jimi's life has been featured in numerous biographies over the years, but very little has been properly documented when it comes to his influence on people of color. Hendrix was often seen by many to have transcended race, which is a slap in the face to his deep cultural roots, concerning not only his Black musical traditions but simply growing up as a Black person in the '40s-'60s https://jimibl.com/index.html See the promo trailer here: JIMI HENDRIX - BLACK LEGACY (A Dream Deferred).
