It's forty years since Jimi Hendrix died in London, aged 27.

Nobody revolutionised the way rock guitar is played the way he did. He 
released only three studio albums during his lifetime but these, along 
with his live performances, made him a legend.

To mark the anniversary of his death, the ABC will create ABC Jimi 
Hendrix, a digital radio station for the weekend of 18 and 19 September, 
which will play rare documentaries about Hendrix and feature much of his 
amazing music.  Starts: 9am AEST Saturday 18 September, Ends: 9pm AEST 
Sunday 19 September.

The ABC's Digital Radio services will develop over time. As well as the 
extra coverage and ** special short-run stations ** we'll be working on 
enhancements to the text and images we broadcast ..
