Just when you thought there wasn't possibly anything new you could learn about The Beatles,
you find out Jimi Henrix once asked Paul McCartney to be part of a supergroup with him and Miles Davis:
This tantalizing detail about the super group that never was -- jazz
standout Tony Williams would have been on drums -- is contained in an
oft-overlooked telegram that Hendrix sent to McCartney at The Beatles'
Apple Records in London on Oct. 21, 1969.
"We are recording and LP together this weekend in NewYork," it says,
complete with typographical errors. "How about coming in to play bass
stop call Alvan Douglas 212-5812212. Peace Jimi Hendrix Miles Davis Tony
Williams."
Of course.
