{"product_id":"jimi-hendrix-musician-9780879309602","title":"Jimi Hendrix: Musician","description":"Many books about Hendrix concentrate on showmanship and rock-and-roll excess, but Keith Shadwick's \u003ci\u003eJimi Hendrix: Musician\u003c\/i\u003e brings to Hendrix's musical legacy as a guitarist, singer, and composer a depth of analysis missing from other accounts of his career, placing Hendrix's work in the broadest possible musical context, encompassing rock, pop, soul, funk, jazz, blues, fusion, and a range of classical disciplines. The book was first published in 2003; sadly, Shadwick died from cancer in 2008 at the age of 57. This new edition in a compact format is published as a tribute to Shadwick, who was described in his obituary in the UK newspaper \u003ci\u003eThe Independent\u003c\/i\u003e as \"an authority on classical music who also wrote in-depth biographies of Led Zeppelin and Jimi Hendrix. He was a jazzer who rocked and championed G?recki.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eKeith Shadwick\u003c\/b\u003e was born in London.
