  • RIP - Buddy Miles

    Jonathan Cohen of Billboard.com reports: Buddy Miles, who co-founded and played drums in BAND OF GYPSYS with Jimi Hendrix, passed away yesterday (Feb. 26) in Austin, Texas, at the age of 60. A cause of death has yet to be announced.

    Miles was born Sept. 5, 1947, in Omaha, Neb., and was introduced to music at a young age by his father, who played in a band called the BEBOPS. As a young man he also played with WILSON PICKETT, the DELFONICS and the INK SPOTS.

      RIP Buddy. BTW, didn't he write "Them Changes"? One of my favourite tunes.

                RIP.
                My opinion?
                A great jazz drummer, in a rock environment.
                The Band of Gypsies was just that, and makes me wonder at what else
                Jimi and Electric Ladyland could have accomplished.
