🎸 July, 28

🎸 1967.
Gaslight Café, NYC. Jimi jams again with John Hammond Jr and His Screaming Nighthawks and Eric Clapton.

John Hammond tells this evening: “I had set up a small trio and we played together in the same club, The Gaslight. There were Charles Otis on drums, Lee Collins on bass. I met Eric Clapton in 1965 on tour in England when he was playing with John Mayall. Eric was in town with Cream and Jimi had just finished the tour with the Monkees. They came to the Gaslight at the same time and we played together every night for a week. It was a small club that could hold only 60 people at the same time. So many people who were on the show over the years came up to me and said, They had seen me with Eric and Jimi (laughs). Yes, we were there. When I tell this story, some people do not believe me and yet it is the truth”.
