Jimi Hendrix & Curtis Knight - Hush Now + Flashing - 1967 45rpm

[909kong]

This actually isn't bad. Hendrix messed up, tho'. Gave Chalpin extra ammunition.

aint heard this for 20 years or more, its still great!

[panamajack612]

does the intro sound like the intro to the song 1983 to anyone else???

[Blusideup]

@panamajack612 YES

[Kknightmcc]

Oops, that was December 1964 not 1994!

[Kknightmcc]

The person who posted this has some of the facts incorrect. I was with Curtis Knight for 16 1/2 years and also worked for Ed Chalpin about 6 years. Curtis is the man who discovered Jimi Hendrix, provided him with an amp and guitar, invited him to play with his band Curtis Knight and the Squires, in December of 1994. He later took Jimi to meet Ed Chalpin and record in his studio. Ed Chalpin was Curtis Knight's manager at the time. As a result PPX signed a production agreement with Jimi.

[orpheusband]

That's Bernard Purdie on "Flashing". Of all the players on that session, Purdie was the most well-known. Curtis remembered Hendrix was excited to meet the highly regarded drummer and was reported to have asked Purdie "Hey man, did you bring your signs?" - referring to the famous "You done hired Bernard "Pretty" Purdie, the little old hit maker" advertisement, which Purdie would proudly display beside his kit during sessions. When Purdie produced the signs, Hendrix laughingly exclaimed "Far out!”

Happy Birthday Jimi

[Kknightmcc]

Actually, Curtis Knight performed with Jimi Hendrix and was managed by Ed Chalpin. Jimi Hendrix signed a production agreement with Ed Chalpin. I was with Curtis Knight for 16 1/2 years and worked for Ed Chalpin for a while as well.

0:30 Now how do u expect a guy who plays with his teeth regularly to sit back in a 5 or more piece band... not gonna fuckin happen!

[nelsano3]

Ive got this on a cd boxset without the vocals and it says Jimi did this 1st take on a wah wah he was demonstrating because it was a prototype, the guy asked jimi to 'do something to see what it sounds like' and he came up with this! They then did it again live with the band... Awesome!!!

[zorbazig]

[thatkidnamedjimi]

fuck ed chalpin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FCKING ASSHOLE!!!!! anyone who loves hendrix should hate ed chalpin!

[pactater]

@thatkidnamedjimi

Michael Jeffrey is the one to be mad at. He drove Jimi to death with an insane touring schedule, and stole his money in the process.

[dannon2010]

@pactater Not only did he steal his money, there is some evidence that he (Jeffrey) actually murdered Jimi, as Hendrix was planning to leave him for another manager. Jeffrey owed a ton of money to the mob, and Jeffrey had a life insurance policy on Jimi. if Jimi left, Jeffrey was dead meat, and had no way of paying the debts off.

[theganjaking56]

@dannon2010 No not only was he planning on it he did, Jeffrey was fired about a week before Hendrix's death. At one of Hendrix's final concerts he actually made fun of him on-stage calling him out as being a homosexual in public. I would say Hendrix was murdered 100%... Fucking bullshit....

[capetown99]

@pactater

Thats true. Jimi deserved better than Jeffrey. Bloody gangster.

[6stringANDacoke]

you see where jimi got some of his singing style

[TheMaster926]

Jimi's music fluently speaks the language of my soul.

[OceanderTethyseus]

[OceanderTethyseus]

i haven't heard this for 20 years. thanks so much for posting!! i could cry...

[lastrevolv]

yeeah the best wah wah player there is!

[12stepmaster]

He was awesome even back then.... I thank God for him adopting the Wah Wah pedal............ Why did you have to leave us so early?...... I have this mental picture of Hendrix... John Lennon .... Bob Marley together jamming....... (I might have to wait a while for that) Bless you Jimmy

[TheMysticAudio]

That's just awesome.

[capetown99]

Great music, but Ed Chaplin was a pain in the arse for Jimi.

[DemonsGallore]

Hey, there is a scratch/crack on that record at 0:44 ...but thank you for posting even though. :D Great song!

[astrotravelin]

thats sort of rude....what can you expect???

[romienomie]

Is it possible that Jimi learned a lot of his songwriting techniques from Curtis Knight?

[kopynd]

Hush now.moon turns the tides best ever music

[kopynd]

prefer the instimental

[TheKenzo0710]

2 great, from the GREATEST ;)

[Skykenzone]

This is a Wonderfull song !!!

[Sids60sSounds]

My old Sony's never let me down. Mind you, downstairs I run a 1971 Lenco deck through a 1969 Leak Delta 70 amp, which loves powering my huge 1969 Goodmans Magister speakers. Sounds bloody brilliant.

Glad to see your a Tarbuck / Vorderman enthusiast! ;)

[MrZooIbanez]

great song

[eamonosu]

man i used tho have this on an early hendrix-knight album back in the 70s.

havent heard it since until right now ; )

[WELLBRAN]

Yes same here so many years

[beeteep60]

I've got the vocal & instrumental versons both on cd

[theyoungharris]

I had this single many years ago. I have not heard it for ages so thank you for posting brings back memories!

[anja2571]

great

[rabbitshirt]

One of my favourite Hendrix tunes of all time. On the album "Get that Feeling" the version is a bit different. from 0:36 to 1:07 is not on the album version. From 1:16 to 1:41 . . . sooooo bad, man. Wow. The PPX/GEMM version has this tune without vocals. I don't know. I don't like it without vocals. I think Jimi didn't like this tune at all.

[lesebb]

on what*

[lesebb]

on that album is this track, not talking about the instrumental

[karatetouckan]

FUNKY!!!!!
