James Marshall "Jimi" Hendrix (born Johnny Allen Hendrix; 27th November at Seattle's King County Hospital, 1942 - 18th September 1970) was a U.S. guitarist, singer, and songwriter. Hendrix was not very popular in the U.S.A. at the outset of his musical career, only later gaining recognition after taking a trip to England in 1966 with The Animals' Chas Chandler, where he subsequently formed The Jimi Hendrix Experience with bassist Noel Redding and drummer Mitch Mitchell. While The Experience quickly became popular in England, they remained relatively unrecognised outside the country. It was not until their 1967 performance at the Monterey...

The members of this Russian duo, Max K. (keyboards, music, sampling, market rituals) and Leonid M. (drums, programming, sound engineering, electronic manipulations) reside in Moscow and have been involved in electronic music since 1997.

In March 1953, Al enlisted in the army. He did 18 months in Korea, and was honorably discharged. Rock and Roll became his new...

Ansambli eluaja jooksul olid seal Heigo Mirka, Toomas Kõrvits, Vello Salumets, Neeme Ninnas, Harry Kõrvits, Henry Kirspuu ja Reinhard Kristiansen helitehnikuna. Optimistid olid erilised mitme asja pärast. Esiteks polnud musitseerimine neile ainult hobi eest, vaid see oli ka elatise teenimise allikas. Teiseks olid kollektiivi liikmed muusikainimeste perekondadest või taotlesid Tallinna Muusikakoolist professionaalidiplomit. Kolmandaks erines nende iga võrreldes teiste biitansamblitega. Kui enamik selle muusikaga tegelejaid olid teismelised, siis nemad olid juba kahekümnesed. Erandiks oli vaid Harry Kõrvits, kes oli Optimistidega liitudes kõigest 12. Noorukesest poisist sai ansambli trummar seetõttu, et teised kandidaadid polnud sobivad. Esialgu ei tahetud teda kaasata, aga hiljem...
