Mitch Mitchell brought his love of jazz, and Philly Joe Jones in particular, to the table, and his adroit stickmanship and machine gun fills reflects that interest throughout Axis. The trio created a union that, on the surface, might have seemed unlikely, but one that used its disparate influences to form a union of three with a single soul. That joy translated easily to disc and was clearly apparent throughout the sessions for the album. The Axis days for Jimi and the Experience, on the other hand, were some of the happiest in the short tempestuous life of the group.
Many bands have found early success a distraction and a recipe for dissolution. Just as important in the history of the Jimi Hendrix Experience was how the band reacted to their incredible initial successes. Unquestionably, Chas had carried his message well. Of the other eleven songs, only “One Rainy Wish” and “Bold As Love” exceeded the three minute AM top forty radio barrier of the day.
The longest song on Axis, “If 6 Was 9” runs 5:32. His influence reined in some of Jimi’s more extravagant impulses that later reemerged with new discipline on Electric Ladyland. By the Axis sessions he and Jimi were equal partners in creative matters. It is to his credit that he recognized Jimi’s remarkable growth as a musician and composer.

His knowledge was in full display on Are You Experienced, where he was clearly in charge. Chas had learned a great deal about pop music structure as the bassist for the Animals, one of the most successful groups of the British invasion. From the full out rockers to softer poetic outings, Axis: Bold As Love was chock full of well crafted pop songs.Ĭhas Chandler’s contribution in that vein should not be overlooked. The time between the initial sessions for the “Hey Joe” single to the final touches on “She's So Fine” for Axis was only a year. The range of emotions and styles expressed throughout Axis equals those found on Are You Experienced, but there is a different quality about them. Few would attempt to argue the album’s timelessness. “Spanish Castle Magic,” “You Got Me Floatin’,” the title track, “Bold As Love,” and the now standard, “Little Wing”. The track launched thirty-eight minutes of some of he most brilliant rock to be etched in vinyl the entire year. “EXP” featured a faux radio announcer, played by drummer Mitch Mitchell, interviewing Jimi posing as Paul Carusoe, an expert on alien life. Not satisfied with mining the same vein that had yielded the motherlode of Are You Experienced, the Experience kicked off their sophomore effort with a novelty step into the science fiction milieu that Jimi loved. Avidly gathered and explored by the public, the thirteen majestic songs of Axis: Bold As Love proved that Jimi Hendrix was no one album wonder.
While touring and other commitments would delay further Axis: Bold As Love recording sessions for the new album until October 1967, the unquenchable creative fire burning within the belly of the Experience would soon produce another gem. The group’s stunning performance at the June 1967 Monterey Pop Festival and the subsequent release of Are You Experienced won over American fans and clearly illustrated the magnitude of the trio’s capabilities. On the strength of early singles like “Hey Joe,” “Purple Haze,” and “The Wind Cries Mary,” the Experience had conquered England and Europe. With Chandler installed as his manager and producer, the two formed the Jimi Hendrix Experience with drummer Mitch Mitchell and bassist Noel Redding. Less than nine months had passed since Chas Chandler had brought Jimi Hendrix to London in September 1966. Jimi Hendrix had put the finishing touches on Are You Experienced, the group’s remarkable 1967 debut album, before he began recording new songs for what would ultimately become Axis: Bold As Love.
