From the Artist

Liner Notes

Rewind.
I was fortunate to have had the experience of witnessing Hendrix play live. It's always been on an eternal tape loop in my minds eye. Looking back, I had no idea that those sights, sounds and memories would manifest themselves into this current project.

Fast Forward to the 21st century.
It has inspired me to write and record in a way that reflects the vibe of the sixties and to also resonate with the decade that I live in. This CD is dedicated to Jimi Hendrix, the Beatles and the spirit of the sixties.

Now hit Play. And turn it up.

Carl Filipiak

I received my copy of Carl's newest CD and as expected it does not disappoint! Carl never ceases to amaze me with his talent. I've listened to this CD 4 times already today and it keeps getting better! Carl as always has assembled a great band of musicians! You can not go wrong with Dennis Chambers behind the drums and John's no slacker either! Just wanted to say how much I am enjoying this CD and I try to get out to see him live whenever I can!

Dennis A. - A long time listener and admirer of Carl's great guitar work!

i have the true privilege of being a guitar student of Carl's. He is an amazing guitar player--an equally amazing person, and this cd is magic

5.0 out of 5 stars The tones are phenomenal - you've really outdone yourself on this release., January 6, 2008

I have to commend you on the Jimi Jazz album - quite a phenomenal piece of work. It is a bit early to have absolute favorites, but I have found Into The Sea, 14-15-16, Wakan Tanka and of course, Bold As Love to be the big contenders. We are talking about some really seriously good stuff here. I'd love to know if you are doing that backwards-tracking stuff in real-time (with an Eventide H-3000 or some such). The tones are phenomenal - you've really outdone yourself on this release. I just need to see you do your thing live.
