If you know Jimi Hendrix music, this is a very unusual take on it by Nigel Kennedy.

Yeeaaahhh. That reminds me of those damned "pan flute" records from the '70s. That would drive me nuts if I had to hear more of it.
Gimme Jimi. Turn it up to 11.

Without a doubt, Nigel Kennedy is an amazing violinist, BUT, anyone changing anything by Hendrix at all, is SACRILEGE! LOL.

There is very little left of Purple Haze in there. Wish Hendrix was still around and played with Kennedy like Kennedy plays with other rock groups from the 60's and 70's.

Purple Haze? Back in the day Northwestern's football team was known as the Purple Haze. This led to Michigan becoming known as the Maize Haze, and ofc, Ohio State as the Hayes Haze.

The difference between competence and “soul”. Hendrix had both.

Different, unusual - yes! Improvement on Jimi's original, NO WAY (and I'm being polite)!!!

Purple Haze, this is not. Jimi Hendrix, this is not. Back in my day, we would listen to Jimi's music and we would mix Welches Grape Juice with Everclear which we called our "Purple Haze".

There was a variant at frat rush parties in the '70s called, somewhat offensively, "Purple Jesus Punch." It substituted sangria for grape juice. It was made in large quantities, served in (sterilized) plastic trash barrels next to the beer kegs, and resulted in a lot of purple vomit. The beer was legal, but the punch was not, if you were 18 to 21. The freshmen and freshwomen drank it anyway. They nearly always drank too much, and topped it off with beer.
That said, the particular Purple Haze Jimi sang about was LSD made by Owsley Stanley and distributed at the 1967 Monterey Pop Music Festival. It's difficult to make a comparison to grape juice and Everclear.
