Producers of Jimi Hendrix biopic All Is By My Side have released a minute-long clip, featuring Andre 3000 of Outkast fame in the starring role.

He’s billed under his real name, Andre Benjamin, in the film that tells the story of the guitar icon’s rise to fame over a two-year period leading up to his showstopping appearance at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967.

Directed by 12 Years A Slave writer John Ridley, the film doesn’t include any music performed by Hendrix, due to his sister Janie, who runs his estate, having refused permission for it to be used. Instead new versions of covers played by Hendrix have been used.

All Is By My Side received its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival last year and gets is US premiere next week at South By Southwest in Austin, Texas.

Meanwhile, the US Postal Service is to unveil a Hendrix memorial stamp, also at SXSW, on March 13. The event will include a free concert starring Slash, Robby Krieger, Perry Farrell, Doug Pinnick and others.
