How Jazz Legends Elvin Jones, Wes Montgomery & John Coltrane helped inspire “Third Stone From The Sun”:⁣
⁣
When you listen to “Third Stone From The Sun” from “Are You Experienced”, it’s puzzling to think that this psychedelic song would have anything to do with Jazz music. Yet, nothing could be further than the truth as the song borrows musical elements from all three Jazz legends and is presented to the listener in a manner that’s bound to raise eyebrows. The song was first developed while Jimi was part of the New York R&B scene while performing with his group Jimmy James and the Blue Flames at the Cafe Wha?. However, once he moved to London the song took a life of it’s own due to the Science Fiction influence of then-manager Chas Chandler. ⁣
⁣
Musically, the song is identified as "a structured group performance”, which comprises of several passages that are further subdivided. The opening section is introduced with a chord progression that’s defined as a "sliding major ninth ... arpeggiated chords and Coltranoid mock-orientalisms” and Mitch Mitchell’s drumming patterns during this entire passage has a strong Elvin Jones influence. Once the song progresses past the intro, Hendrix showcases a Wes Montgomery influenced chord progression that’s specifically designed to highlight the octave guitar melody line. ⁣

Despite these influences, at no point during the song does the band sound like a group imitating other musicians as The Experience prove that they have their own identity. ⁣
