Many books about Hendrix concentrate on showmanship and rock-and-roll excess but Keith Shadwick's ÊJimi Hendrix: MusicianÊ 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 ÊThe IndependentÊ 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 Gìrecki.
Keith Shadwick was a respected critic, contributing thoughtful analyses of rock, jazz and classical music for The Independent, Jazzwise, Gramophone, ClassicFM and JazzFM. He was the author of several books including a biography of Bill Evans, and Led Zeppelin 1968-1980, both published by Backbeat Books. Shadwick died in London in July 2008, aged 57.
