Traffic was formed in 1967 and disbanded in 1969, so this is probably 1968, maybe 1967, Jimi passed 09/18/1970 after Traffic was done, thanking God for whoever taped this for future gens, this type of music is so lacking today
no one has to agree, i was 20 when heard both Traffic and Jimi Hendrix in 1967, AM radio could not deal with it and FM was far and few between at that time
Yes-Free-form, Progressive format, Underground radio, hosted by actual people-music fans, who played what they liked....it didn't last long but it was magical.
Some of Traffic's most successful releases came in 1971: The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys & 1973: Shoot out ATFF, they actually split up in 1974. But yes! what an awesome group of talented musicians!! Jimi was a once in a century all-time great guitarist!!!
this really shows jimis ability to step out of the spotlight and give some sound to the other musician while still keeping that same jimi feel, an absolute master of his craft
From what I've read, Hendrix and Dave Mason were great friends. Hendrix died too young, and Traffic may well be the most underrated bands ever. This is absolutely Fantastic! Thanks for putting it up.
And don't forget that Dave Mason also played acoustic guitar on Jimi's version of All along the Watchtower. Steve Winwood also jammed on keys on Voodoo Chile on Electric Ladyland
"FROM WHAT YOU HEARD", JUST LIKE MASKS ARE "COMPULSIVELY" STIMULATING, OR IS IT THAT THEY "¿WERE?" UNDERRATED PER YOUR URGE TO QUELL YOUR EVEN STRONGER NEED OF NOT RELENTING ¡THE FACT!; THAT YOUR STUPID ASS/[GENERATION], YOUUUUU👊WAS NOT BORN YET? .....tell me, ¿that underrated too?
This is magnificent. Listen to Jimi jam away the rhythm on this . He was one of those guys, who, when pressed by top Musicians, he not only held his own but helped raise the music to a higher level. I believe great musicians loved to jam with Jimi Hendrix.
His eternal quest for new inspiration seemed insatiable,even his Beethoven records at his London flat where used for inspiation/direction etc.....yes.....Jimi and his Neptune wanderings gave us a very unique human beings outlook into a world out there somewhere......those six intro notes on hey joe are magical,and so was he.
Stevie Ray Vaughan couldn’t make a pimple on his ass he didn’t learn nothing from him if he did a shortcut and make it like him and neither could anybody else of course there was only one Jimi Hendrix one guitar player second to none
Super cool band!! Two of my favorite artists ever. Always loved Chris Woods work with Traffic. Tragic Magic should be heard by all. RIP Chris and Jimi.
The photo is not members of TRAFFIC : Left to Right , Eric Burden of The Animals, John Mayall , Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Winwood & Jim Capaldi of Traffic ?.
Wow, I would have loved being for weeks on end> stoned and stuck in that traffic jamming, you know, tripping out just listening to this heart-melting magic peace music. Oh yea, no better place do ya hear.
Probably when he was begining to get deep into Jazz with Miles right b4 the 70's came in.Only unfortunately it never really happened!By that time Jeff Beck either joined or left Traffic.Jimi Page had long left The Yardbirds,Perfect timing to Start up Zeppelin!
This brings me great joy but also sadness because where else am I going to find this kind of Jazz Rock fusion, especially at this level of raw talent? I love fusion jazz because of how experimental & inventive musicians got with genre-bending outfits
Try The Allman Brothers! There's a live 1970 version of In Memory of Elizabeth Reed to be see on UA-cam. Of course Duane was lost at even an earlier age. Jimi and Duane left us way way too early.
@@MrOzzificationMiles Davis Live in Vienna 1991, try his other psychedelic Jazz such as 71 Live-Evil & 72 On The Corner (Deluxe) and other albums from his discography in that era if you're into it
Finally someone! Totally agree with you, the sax may not be something everyone enjoys but I must admit it gives this record a lot of soul as you said. I dont get why some people cant handle to listen to a guitar and a sax in the same song, and we all acknowledge this isnt even a proper song.
I've been a diehard fan of Jimi Hendrix since 1970 , and never till now heard Jimi dicing with a sax. Its a welcome change, splashings and smattering tones ,voicings and echoes,
I HAD THIS MANY YEARS AGO BACK IN THE 90s ON CASSETT TAPE A GUY FROM NY SENT IT TO ME THE CASSETT WAS RECORDED FROM A MASTER RECORDING OF IT . IT SOUNDED EVEN BETTER THAN HERE!!! YOU CAN FIND A LOT OF RARE JIMI ON A SIGHT CALLED SUGARMEGS AUDIO!!! THE HENDRIX CROSSTOWN TORRENT SIGHT WAS A GREAT PLACE FOR RARE HENDRIX RECORDINGS, BUT IT BEEN DOWN FOR AWHILE NOW.
Mr. Winwood is definitely the most underappreciated elder statesman of Rock. That monster organ on Voodoo Child was Steve at maybe 16. He and his brother share credits on the epic "Don't want you No more" that the Allman''s used as the intro on "Ain't My Cross to Bare" on their debut album. It was a Spencer Davis Group number with lyrics
Steve Winwood was actually around 20 when he worked on Voodoo Chile (still very impressive nonetheless). I believe you’re mistaking his young age for the time when he was in the Spencer Davis Group, which he joined when he was only 15, when he joined the group in around 1964/65. I’m a heavy music nerd sorry lol
Gimme Some Lovin' and I'm a Man are some of the best R&R of that era and Winwood (b-1948) was only 16 when their first record came out about '64, but the Voodoo Chile jam was recorded in 1968 so Steve would have been about 20, but still, his organ is integral to what is probably my favorite recording of Hendrix.
Traffics use of the sax, gave depth to their 12 plus minutes jam sessions such as The Low Spark Of High Heel Boys. I'm happy that they had the courage to play what they enjoyed playing. And these are some awesome tracks with Hendrix that I've never heard up until now! Absolutely amazing!
Only Chris Wood from Traffic is on this. Recorded June 15 1970 at Electric Lady. It also features Dave Palmer the drummer from the Amboy Dukes. Interesting strains of Hey Baby / Bolero.
this is so damn good...i have an album i bought way back in 81, its called, nine to the universe...im the only one that i know that has a copy of it....those are the best jams he ever did.
great guys..geniuses..great sound..great interplay..for those who said a few silliness..well..jimi was in a crossroad so to speak at 1970 when he was in England..he was trying to find new ideas and ways to sound more and more innovative, creative, and simply Mr. Miles Davis..who played horn..invited him to a rehearsal..an audition..so to speak..who know what that would bring..so please, forget what you said about horn disturb the overall sound..everything is magical..just that..
@@julieraymond482 Yeah,it must've been too many Super Toxic Narcissistic 'Prima Donna' Insecure creative musician types on tha scenes Back in the States.That completely stifled his creativity.So inorder to get any thing done,by fully expressing himself,Hendrix had to leave them behind to the Uk,far away back home in the Cities of the Dust!
I still have a few old hendrix bootlegs I purchased from record fairs in the early 90s... I'm amazed how there are still so many incredible studio recordings that are still unavailable online... 2 favourite albums are Freak out jam and eyes and imagination.. I still prefer many trqcks from these old bootlegs to any of the official hendrix Estate releases from the past 2 decades. There is a treasure trove of unreleased recordings that need to be made available. I don't understand why the hendrix estate continually release poor quality soundboard recordings or subpar outtakes of the same old songs when there are still so many incredible studio jams that have never been released and need to be heard
Finally ! I think I heard this on some bootleg 8track a longtime ago. It said jimi Hendrix on the outside with a song or two as main refrences. But, I just thought it was a mistake. Since it didn't sound like anything Hendrix had ever done. You know his father played sax. So, it wasn't anything new for Hendrix. Thanks for posting this. This is a pretty cool jam. I love rock, but, I also love jazz. So, it's an interesting jam to me.
Jimi blends a hint of "Hey Baby" into his own version of fusion-style thru Traffic's super-dope Jazz-licks.Jeff Beck must've not been there at that time.or he might finally went Solo!There was no fakin' the funk in those days.Either one had a sizzling hot sound, that was totally in the pocket..Or it was nobody's business at all,besides the Talent being inside the studio period!
Plenty of stupid comments about the sax in this thread. It's all cool...love it. This music is crossover - proper fusion. The top bands did this all the time, early Fleetwood Mac, try listening to Otis Span Blues Jam at Chess, Traffic were always into this stuff. Then came Ian Carr's Nucleus, Back Door....Weather Report...
The title and the photograph is totally misleading...but I'm happy to guess it's Hendrix with Wood and Capaldi... And to add to my comment above, others who successfully trod this path were Jack Bruce, Ginger Baker, Thjs van Leer, Jan Akkerman, Burt Reuter, Pierre van der Linden....i.e. Focus.... Anyway, it's a jam....that's what happens.
I saw this this photograph many years ago and it was a still from a package tour I believe, The Animals, Traffic, The Move and John Mayall's Bluesbreakers probably all featured. That's not to say it hasn't been used as a bootleg cover, although it's very misleading if you are not familiar with all these bands and that they are 'not' part of Hendrix's band. Anyway, all water under the bridge now, I just like to be pedantic about rock history.
The picture is a collage anyway, all the images are taken from other sources. It's misleading old tosh but people who don't know, don't know. Traffic never toured with ANY of these people. In 1968 Burdon had decamped to San Francisco while Mayall moved to Laurel Canyon. Carl Wayne had left The Move in 1969 because Roy Wood wanted to do more experimental stuff while Wayne was more of a cabaret singer. Trevor Burton of the Move was a mate of Winwood's and was part of the crowd who hung out at Traffic's cottage in a remote part of Berkshire in the late '60's. There are supposed to be some crude recordings of Traffic jamming with various mates, including Clapton and Hendrix at the cottage but I've never seen or heard any evidence. Anyway, this jam could be anybody but it certainly ain't Traffic
This is the first time that I've heard this Jam & I suspect that it was in the early days of Jimi breaking into the English music scene .While the other musos ,mainly the sax player were just jamming, I can hear the Jimi was clearly trying out different ideas that eventually developed into songs that he released later on.Jimi has always been way ahead of the pack.
Yeah!!!!!!! Y'all might as well then too as also do all that samba, chachacha, rumba, the real loud rock-jazz sound dance music, the jazz swing dance music, the tango dance ballroom music, the bossa nova dance jazz music, the conga line dance music and even the wild rhythm and blues rock-jazz dance music.
Cool! The real conversation begins about a third of the way through.The first 8 minutes are exploratory and the group doesn't gel (especially the sax) despite some decent individual playing, but the jammin' magic kicks in around the 9 minute mark and they lock together for some righteous grooves, building up, then laying back.
I gotta admit. Never been a big fan of sax at all, unless it's hard bebop jazz. I could definitely do without it in this one. (it's also the highest in the mix too.) Still, just SUCH a cool thing to hear. I've heard most of Hendrix, and had not heard this one before. Thank you for uploading P.G.
GREAT SAX, MAN: this goes out to all you guitar-obsessed sax haters out there. Get bent. Jimi liked playing with these guys. This was a jam, not a record release, so you didn't lose any money. Chris Wood was one of the best jazz-oriented rock saxophone and flute players ever, and Traffic was one of the greatest psychedelic rock bands of all time. Speaking of which---where the f is Steve Winwood and his Hammond organ? Lost in the mix? Taking a break? If so, where's the rest of the jam?
This session was recorded at an unknown place in the late 60's, the bootleg was printed in 1990.John Mayall in the photo? I have no idea, this the original cover!
Eric Burden, John Mayall, Jimi, Steve Winwood and stupid me thought that was John Bonham but have been told it's Carl Wayne. But it's NOT Traffic in the picture....
there is another copy of this jam session with no pictures and it reads Jim Calpaldi on Drums, Chris Wood on Sax, Steve Winwood on Organ and Jimi Hendrix on Guitar, this photo is not representative of who is playing, look for the other version, it is the same music but no pics with John Mayall etc, so except for one player this is Traffic and Hendrix
sensacional..e john mayall na foto e com certeza fazendo alguma participaçao..vou procurar o cd..sou dos antigos..quero ter o material fisico e nao em pendrive..obrigado..jorge.
sempre acho..discogs é um site loja de discos vinil, cd, dvd..a melhor..jimi hendrix & traffic - a session..so que foi proibido a venda..agora so consta no catalogo..somente para ouvir..mas eu tenho o meu..sorry..bye..

this really shows jimis ability to step out of the spotlight and give some sound to the other musician while still keeping that same jimi feel, an absolute master of his craft
He plays in the zone , in the pocket. In the moment. Feels it more than thinks it. The mood 0f the room has an effect. The music of the spheres.
The constant breakdown, first take action only a musician can truly appreciate
This is the band of groove. Every thing blends to the groove. Musicians at the groove. Music beautiful...
From what I've read, Hendrix and Dave Mason were great friends. Hendrix died too young, and Traffic may well be the most underrated bands ever. This is absolutely Fantastic! Thanks for putting it up.
Jimi really dug and got into jazz
I agree!!!, 💙🎸💙
@@robertklouse3868To the contrary Jimi in1969 told a interviewer that he actually didn't like Jazz music.

You can definitely hear Hendrix's years of experience backing and complimenting some of the greatest acts in RnB on this track
Plays in the moment. Live.
Never heard this before. Absolutely fucking fantastic. Wish they did more.
Beloved Jimi never forgotten. Part of humanity's skin. Remembered for as long as free humanity remains...
Jimi's chord progressions are second to none. No wonder SRV learned from him.
SRV and every bloomin' guitarist that ever learned to play rock guitar.
Stevie Ray Vaughan couldn’t make a pimple on his ass he didn’t learn nothing from him if he did a shortcut and make it like him and neither could anybody else of course there was only one Jimi Hendrix one guitar player second to none
SRV copied him, and a few others to boot. He never developed his own voice, because the drinking and drugs.
Super cool band!! Two of my favorite artists ever. Always loved Chris Woods work with Traffic. Tragic Magic should be heard by all. RIP Chris and Jimi.

IT'S MUSIC 🎶 LOVE IT ALL
This so helps transcend time and space.... Jimi matchin a sax....monumental.....thank you so

People Hating on the Sax, I believe it's the best... It gives the Jam so much soul. Especially around 2:11, check it.

great it is first time for mi listenning this rares songs it the best

Wonderful to hear truly great musicians from my era!
this is great, you feel jimis talent
That's a lot of talent.
👍
Mr. Winwood played on Voodoo Chile too… this session could be a wide-eyed alternate dimension cousin to that tune.
Fn cool. Thanks for sharing.
This is so fucking good! Mother of God, am I happy to have stumbled upon this. Holy guacamoly! So good! Jesus... Amazing!
This is the type of stuff that really made Jimi great. I wish he got to do more, but I'm thankful for what there is.

It sold 10s of thousands of copies! I have it as well .... the stuff with Larry young is wonderful.
I have the album as well
Are any of you into Pink Floyd at all by any chance?
I have that too. It's a real gem showing Jimi's soloing skills. He was so intuitive and the way his solos evolved are masterclasses for any musician.
Jimi's playing reminds me of his Woodstock performance.
when they ultimately give up trying to one up one another they both come together and make the best part of the song...
Glad for this great share. Makes it new!!❤
all day long , this is sick!!!!!!! cannot ever hate on dis
GOD BLESS THIS WHOLE BAND.

I was thirteen when I met him and we've been friends ever since not in the physical
So he passed when you were 3.
And you also said you met Hendrix?
Your math gives me no hope
So you didnt really meet him lol

To me, around 6 it sounds close to Hey Baby. Sax sounds closer to Dick Heckstall Smith who was with many Brit Blues bands of the time.
@@JD-vx8gr yes he plays the chords to Hey Baby there
Might want to save it.lol.....

It's basically the early idea of what would later turn into "Hey Baby"
I gotta admit. Never been a big fan of sax at all, unless it's hard bebop jazz. I could definitely do without it in this one. (it's also the highest in the mix too.)
Still, just SUCH a cool thing to hear. I've heard most of Hendrix, and had not heard this one before. Thank you for uploading P.G.
Horn happy. Too much
Sax is annoying!
So are your stupid comments
pink floyd sa is good
holly damn Jam man.......tnkU great post.
This recording along with the Traffic album On The Road show Chris Wood to be equal to Dick Parry as the best English sax players ever
7:22-8:40 is awesome
great!
When Hendrix goes into hey baby at 5:00 ❤️ think imma take a shot at learning this song, seems like a fun jam along.
GREAT SAX, MAN: this goes out to all you guitar-obsessed sax haters out there. Get bent. Jimi liked playing with these guys. This was a jam, not a record release, so you didn't lose any money. Chris Wood was one of the best jazz-oriented rock saxophone and flute players ever, and Traffic was one of the greatest psychedelic rock bands of all time. Speaking of which---where the f is Steve Winwood and his Hammond organ? Lost in the mix? Taking a break? If so, where's the rest of the jam?
This session was recorded at an unknown place in the late 60's, the bootleg was printed in 1990.John Mayall in the photo? I have no idea, this the original cover!
J🥀usto lo que necesitAba ..Mejor dicho andaba necesitandoGRACIAS¡
🌹!
Eric Burden, John Mayall, Jimi, Steve Winwood and stupid me thought that was John Bonham but have been told it's Carl Wayne.
But it's NOT Traffic in the picture....
The cover image is from: Zurich, 30 May 1968, with: Jimi Hendrix, John Mayall, Eric Burdon, Steve Winwood, Carl Wayne.
Good eye.
Lol, yep, my dad pointed that out while we were jamming out to this gem😎
@@Alicia-qi8km music and memories. Treasure that.
there is another copy of this jam session with no pictures and it reads Jim Calpaldi on Drums, Chris Wood on Sax, Steve Winwood on Organ and Jimi Hendrix on Guitar, this photo is not representative of who is playing, look for the other version, it is the same music but no pics with John Mayall etc, so except for one player this is Traffic and Hendrix
Unbelievable
sensacional..
The sax player had a pretty good backing group!
Great stuff!
This is great, thanks!
Chris Wood is really perfect at jamming and playing. He may be the very best at blending rock and jazz. He has a very real, personal expression.
Yep Chris Wood on sax and Jimi being Jimi !!!!!
You've created a Traffic Jam !!!
👍
