Paying Handel & Hendrix in London a Visit – The Home of a Rock Music IconAv Jens Nepper
Paying Handel & Hendrix in London a Visit – The Home of a Rock Music Icon A few days ago, yours truly paid the Jimi Hendrix museum (i.e. Handel & Hendrix in London) in the city's classy Mayfair district (or in the heart of London's West End, if you will) and it turned out to be a brilliant experience that was both incredibly rewarding and inspiring on so many different levels. Located in 25 Brook Street, which is literally just a 4-minute walk from the Bond Street tube station, the old house in which both the classical composer Handel and the legendary rock music innovator Jimi Hendrix once lived definitely has a certain charm and atmosphere to it. When looking at it, you can just tell that it has a rich history to it. While Handel lived in the premises nearly three hundred years ago, Hendrix lived there in 1968 and 1969. During those years, he singlehandedly transformed the entire rock music milieu in the UK (and elsewhere, obviously), but the point that I am trying to make is that 1968-1969 were pivotal years and extremely important in relation to pretty much every rock album that came out following the arrival of Hendrix in the UK.
