Jimi Hendrix recorded a lot during the short time his Band of Gypsys group was together, though most of the songs are just jamming. While there are technically more than enough tracks for a hearty album of Hendrix / Cox / Miles vocal songs, a good few are either lacking in quality or are set to go on my reconstruction of Hendrix's fourth album, so they'd have to be left off here. The closest tracks to Jams are "Villanova Junction Blues", "Jungle", and "Once I Had a Woman". If I find some good tunes to replace "Once I Had A Woman" then I'll edit this post. The rest of the album are relatively polished tunes from mid to late 1969 and early 1970. The earliest song on the album is "Hey Gypsy Boy", being recorded in March 1969, before the experience broke up officially, though it's still got Buddy Miles on drums and not Noel Redding on the no bass, so I'd reckon it fits enough. The title of the album is a pun on the fact that the Jimi Hendrix Experience broke up, so Hendrix didn't need "experience" anymore.
