The late power drummer Buddy Miles is shown in this undated publicity photograph. Miles, who played with Jimi Hendrix in his short-lived group Band of Gypsys, died at his home in Austin, Texas on Wednesday, according to publicist Duane Lee on February 27, 2008. He was 60. Miles, a former teen prodigy, helped develop such musical forms as funk metal and acid jazz thanks to his work with such guitarists as John McLaughlin, Mike Bloomfield and Carlos Santana. In 1967, he and Bloomfield co-founded Electric Flag, whose rock-brass sound influenced Chicago and Blood, Sweat & Tears. REUTERS/Mark Freeman/Handout (UNITED STATES). NO SALES. NO ARCHIVES.
