The JIMI TRIBE featuring GERRY JOE WEISE is a JIMI HENDRIX TRIBUTE Band and a homage to NOEL REDDING. ......... Gerry Joe Weise - guitar & vocals, Coco Edwards - bass, Bastian Holloway - drums. .......... GERRY JOE WEISE was born in Sydney, Australia. He has released the albums : 1994 "Live In Paris", 1996 "A Letter To Jimi" (Jimi Hendrix tribute album), 1999 "Bushman Boogie", 2005 "Sydney-Paris Blues". Throughout his many tours he has jammed with Noel Redding, Eric Clapton, B.B.King, John Lee Hooker and Albert Collins. ......... 1996 JIMI HENDRIX 30th COMMEMORATION FESTIVALl with NOEL REDDING. Article from VOODOO CHILD MAGAZINE #41. The concert got off to a great start with a packed audience. Gerry Joe Weise opened with a "Hear My Train A Comin" guitar solo leading into a fiery "Voodoo Chile" with a "Star Spangled Banner" medley. Two originals followed - "Inside Outside" a fusion instrumental number inspired by Hendrix, and a ballad called "Southern Cross", played as Weise explained to the audience that every guitarist has his own "Little Wing". He reflected that it was a little scary on stage because you could feel Jimi's presence in the air. "Purple Haze" with a drum solo came next with "All Along The Watchtower", both of which can be found on Weise's disc "A Letter To Jimi". "Freedom" was an all out funky version, while "Red House" was your classic blues approach with Weise playing guitar behind his back. It has all been said that "Gerry Joe Weise pays complete respect to Hendrix via personal interpretations", and that sums up well the originality and musicality he infused into that night's performance.
