Nice to see Hendrix still getting some love after so many years have passed, and so many amazing players have arrived on the scene.

Porcaro talking Hendrix (copied from Pocketplayer's blog):

As for influences, "It was Jimi Hendrix," says Jeff, "who was then, and continues to be, my greatest influence -both musically and spiritually. It's difficult to put into words the magic and majesty I feel in his playing. He remains a vital force, as influential on his instrument as was John Coltrane on sax. It's funny, people have yet to really equal either man." With a sense of sadness in his voice Jeff says, "I'm sure if he had lived I would have had the opportunity to play drums with him. We'll never know what kinds of things he could have done had he lived."

I've always favored slide players, and Duane Allman and Jeff "Skunk" Baxter still speak to me.
