Hendrix moved to the UK in 1966 and formed a trio, the Jimi Hendrix Experience, which produced hit singles with their first recorded songs (Hey Joe and Purple Haze, both 1967). The group attracted attention in the USA when Hendrix burned his guitar at the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival. The group disbanded in early 1969 after three albums; Hendrix continued to record and occasionally perform until his death the following year.
