Following the disbanding of The Experience, Jimi forms a new power trio with Buddy Miles and Billy Cox. Fueled by blues and R&B, Band of Gypsys promises to be an exciting new chapter in Jimi’s growth as an artist. But the personalities of the band members are like oil and water, and Jimi’s manager, Michael Jeffrey, has his own personal reasons why he wants the trio to tank. Jeffrey will go to great lengths to sabotage Jimi’s efforts at every turn, even if that means slipping his star performer a tainted tab or two.
