Profiles With Maggie LePique
Experience Hendrix Archivist, Director & Producer John McDermott On Electric Lady Studios: A Jimi Hendrix Vision
John McDermott is a writer, producer and, for nearly three decades, the Catalog Director for the Jimi Hendrix family company Experience Hendrix, L.L.C.. Together with Jimi Hendrix’s sister, Janie Hendrix and legendary engineer Eddie Kramer, McDermott has co-produced every Jimi Hendrix CD and DVD release, including 1999’s Grammy Award-winning Band Of Gypsys, 2014’s Emmy Award-winning Hear My Train A Comin’ and the recent Grammy nominated Music, Money, Madness: Jimi Hendrix In Maui. John & Maggie discuss his latest project is Electric Lady Studios: A Jimi Hendrix Vision the new feature-length documentary film chronicling the creation of Electric Lady Studios (directed by John) Rising from the rubble of a bankrupt, Greenwich Village nightclub to the state of the art recording facility inspired by Jimi Hendrix’s vision and becoming the first ever, artist owned commercial recording studio. Contained on the five vinyl LPs or three CDs in the Electric Lady Studios: A Jimi Hendrix Vision box set are 39 tracks recorded by Jimi and his band—consisting of bassist Billy Cox and drummer Mitch Mitchell—at the studio within the last four months of the guitarist’s life. Hendrix was hard at work creating First Rays Of The New Rising Sun, the ambitious double album that would follow his 1968 masterwork Electric Ladyland. Inspired by the possibilities of the new studio, the Experience built classic fare such as “Night Bird Flying,” “Freedom,” and “Dolly Dagger” from the ground up. The set offers a comprehensive look at the work Hendrix undertook during that fruitful summer of 1970
