On Friday, December 10, 2004, Ex'pression College for Digital Arts (Emeryville, Calif.) hosted a gathering of recording industry notables — including producer Jack Douglas, NARAS S.F. executive director Merl Saunders Jr., engineer Eddie Kramer, Narada Michael Walden and bassist Jim Rietzal, among others — to dedicate The Jimi Hendrix Studio, the school's former Neve room.

Kramer cut the red ribbon, and the aubergine-hued room was packed with guests who enjoyed a Hendrix-inspired jam featuring Rietzal, Walden on drums and Vernon “Ice” Black on guitar. The room features a 48-channel Neve VR with Martinsound Flying Faders and recall, an Otari MTR-90, a Meyer Sound monitoring system and Yamaha NS-10 near-field monitors.
