Experience Hendrix LLC and Legacy Recordings proudly announces four new titles representing the fourth wave of releases in the monumental Jimi Hendrix Catalog Project, available everywhere Tuesday, September 13. Included in this release is a 1968 Winterland Show (a 4 Disc Deluxe Box Set).

Winterland recording is drawn from six stellar shows recorded over three days (October 10, 11 and 12, 1968) at San Francisco’s historic Winterland Ballroom. These special performances celebrated the two year anniversary of the Jimi Hendrix Experience and came just as the groundbreaking album Electric Ladyland was released. Winterland presents some of Hendrix’s most spectacular guitar work and the four CD set (also available as eight 12″ vinyl LPs) is filled with rare live versions of classic songs such as “Manic Depression,” “Are You Experienced?,” “Tax Free,” and “Little Wing” that are not part of any other Sony Legacy release. Fans will also enjoy Hendrix’s dramatic interpretations of Cream’s “Sunshine Of Your Love” and Howlin’ Wolf’s “Killing Floor” [with the Experience joined by Jefferson Airplane bassist Jack Casady]

Check out the American Routes Show which features Jack, the epitome of hippie culture!

Tune in and turn on to our nation’s fringe heritage. Along with their spiritual forefathers, the beatniks and folkies, our hippie generation latched on to great music before them–from old-time country and bluegrass, bebop, blues and more–and created their own versions. We’re joined by Maria Muldaur who recalls making jug-band music in the West Village in the ’60s. Also, we speak with bass player Jack Casady, a founding member of the Jefferson Airplane and Hot Tuna.

American Routes is a weekly two-hour public radio program produced in New Orleans, presenting a broad range of American music — blues and jazz, gospel and soul, old-time country and rockabilly, Cajun and zydeco, Tejano and Latin, roots rock and pop, avant-garde and classical. Now in our 12th year on the air, American Routes explores the shared musical and cultural threads in these American styles and genres of music — and how they are distinguished.

The latest news release from Epiphone Guitars contains an interview  with Glenn Five a.k.a. G5, bass  player for the Canadian metal band , Anvil. G5 talks about why he plays the Jack Casady Signature Epiphone Bass. Here is an excerpt:

“(the JC) seems to just cut through everything. And it does. It has a very full sound, that when amplified at Anvil volumes, has what I can only describe as a growl.”

While Glenn Five rocks the Black Jack,the  bass player for the Victorious Secrets, Bryon Rossi,  can be seen playing the JC Gold Top in their commercials on TV.

Let us know if your favorite bass player plays the Jack Casady Signature Epiphone Bass.
