📚 1970.
Today’s session proved one of the most fulfilling for Jimi at his new studio. Here, recordings focused on “Dolly Dagger”, “Bolero”, “Hey Baby (New Rising Sun)”, “Drifting” and “Slow Part” which would posthumously be retitled “Pali Gap” by Michael Jeffery who wanted to craft a stronger tie with that song and the title of his Hawaiian film, Rainbow Bridge. The session later included work on “Midnight Lightning” and “Beginnings” before returning to “Dolly Dagger” before night’s end.
