"I would like a big band that I can write and conduct for."

— Jimi Hendrix

The Concept

Hendrix as you'venever heard him

Reimagining a Revolution

The Electric Lady Big Band isn't a tribute act; it is a sonic exploration. Led by the visionary arrangements of Denny Ilett, this 16-piece powerhouse takes the sprawling, feedback-drenched genius of Jimi Hendrix and translates it into the language of a modern jazz orchestra.

Imagine the iconic riffs of "Voodoo Chile" reinforced by a wall of brass, or "Little Wing" reimagined with lush, orchestral textures. By finding the "unexpected connection" between the grit of 60s rock and the harmonic complexity of jazz, Denny has created a live experience that feels both historically reverent and wildly contemporary.
