Jimi Hendrix Biopic Producer Explains Movie's Focus
. Janie Hendrix, who runs the guitarist's estate, refused to give permission for any of his material to be used. So Danny Bramson signed up a band consisting of guitarist Waddy Wachtel, bassist Leland Sklar and drummer Kenny Aronoff to record original music alongside new versions of covers Hendrix performed in his lifetime. Bramson tells Billboard: "I was never preoccupied with getting the iconic material. I felt strongly in trying to go for an interpretation of Hendrix and the musical environment that surrounded him, and mirrored his sense of finding himself as a guitarist." The movie features Outkast star Andre '3000′ Benjamin in the starring role - and Bramson says the hip-hop artist worked hard to master left-handed guitar playing in order to bring authenticity to his performance.
