[title]Jimi Hendrix: An Illustrated Experience[/title] illuminates the life of the musical icon who pioneered a new generation in rock and roll with his explosive electric style. With exclusive access to the private family archives, co-authors Janie Hendrix and John McDermott tell the vibrant and unique story of Jimi's life, from his formative years in hardscrabble Seattle through his short-lived days in the eye of a fanatic and dedicated public, to the aftermath of his sudden death and the wake of his legacy.

An indispensable addition to any music lover's library, the book is a truly interactive experience, featuring reproductions of drawings from Jimi's childhood, his rare handwritten song lyrics, and never-before-seen archival photographs. In addition to 30 interactive features, the book includes a 70-minute audio CD with interviews and commercially unreleased recordings of live concert music and a Record Plant jam session. While listening to Jimi work out musical riffs, while holding pieces of the ephemera that chronicle his life, you will experience Jimi Hendrix the way you were meant to: in full color.

I honestly don't remember the answer to this: Did Janie ever meet Jimi? Was she even born when he passed away?

Hi Geff R,
Yes, Janie did meet Jimi when she was a little girl. There's a picture of the event floating around in a book or two somewhere. I believe it was only 1 or 2 very brief times.
BTW, a word of warning to people wanting to get the book based on the enclosed CD. The material on it was already released on the Dagger CD for Clark University.

Do you know what is the "Record Plant jam session" portion of the CD?

I can't recall offhand, but I think it's something we all already have from EH.

The record plant jams are all on the Dagger CDs

I met Janies mum in Seattle in 1995, a lovely lady who died a few years after my meeting at Jimi's grave site.
