NOEL REDDING, BASS GUITARIST, DEAD AT 57 Noel Redding, bass player for the legendary Jimi Hendrix Experience, died at his home in the town of Clonakilty in southern Ireland. An autopsy is planned to determine the cause of death. He was 57.
The Jimi Hendrix Experience was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland in 1992. The band produced three groundbreaking albums of psychedelic rock "Axis: Bold as Love," "Electric Ladyland" and "Are You Experienced?" Its hits included "Purple Haze," "Hey Joe" and "Foxy Lady." The group broke up in 1969 before Hendrix's famed Woodstock per- formance. Redding wrote two Experience songs: "She's So Fine" and "Little Miss Strange." After the breakup of the Experience, Redding formed his own band, Fat Mattress, which released a 1969 album of the same name, followed by "Fat Mattress 2" in 1970. Both were re-released as a set in 2000. Later, he formed the Noel Redding Band.
