Remembering Jimi Hendrix through his sensational style, 54 years since his passing 🕺🤍
Kramer was born in South Africa in 1942, to an English mother, and relocated to London in the early 60s to pursue a career in music engineering. “By 1962, I had started in the business as a teaboy,” he says, “and by ’67 I had worked my way up to Olympic Sound Studios in Barnes, which was where I met Jimi.
“This was from the same period, probably a week before because he’s got a different shirt on. This is one of my most favourite photographs of him. It captures him right at the moment of creating a solo and if you look at the expression on his face, it’s amazing – so intense. He’s staring right at me on the other side of the glass. When I stand back and look at it now, his presence was so immense and his concentration was so laser-like, that you almost feel like he’s playing.
"What is very interesting from a guitarist’s point of view is how he’s holding the neck of the guitar – with his thumb wrapped around it. This was part of his technique: his thumb was so huge that he could bar the whole neck while he was playing which created a very unique sound. Also, behind his left shoulder is a very rare Coca-Cola can, called the Harlequin design, which only came out for about a year about ’68.
