Finally, the extensive systematic section of this book deals with the music and media that Hendrix left behind - with a comprehensive, highly detailed discography, an overview of official videos and YouTube material, tribute albums & a bibliography. The 40 Hendrix photos in the book, in color and black and white, were taken by Günter Zint, a politically engaged photographer and activist who met Jimi several times in the 1960s at the Star Club in Hamburg, in London, and at the legendary Fehmarn Open Air.
