His estate, Experience Hendrix LLC, and Legacy Recordings, a division of Sony Music Entertainment, announced Monday the new CD will be available March 5.

"These 12 recordings encompass a variety of unique sounds and styles incorporating many of the elements -- horns, keyboards, percussion and second guitar -- Jimi wanted to incorporate within his new music. 'People, Hell & Angels' presents some of the finest Jimi Hendrix guitar work ever issued and provides a compelling window into his growth as a songwriter, musician and producer," a news release said.
