Show Notes
52 West 8th Street in Manhattan is a famous address in the history of music. It's the home of Electric Lady Studios, built by Jimi Hendrix and his collaborators in the late 1960s. The space was designed as a home for Hendrix to have a safe and comfortable environment to record and explore new ideas. However, the studio was only finished shortly before his unexpected death. A new documentary tells the story of Electric Lady's construction as told by the musicians and engineers who worked alongside Hendrix. Director and Hendrix estate archivist John McDermott and architect John Storyk discuss the film, “Electric Lady Studios: A Jimi Hendrix Vision,” opening at the Quad Cinema on August 9.
