While exploring the vault, Orianthi discovered a previously unreleased riff that immediately sparked her imagination. Inspired by the recording, she brought the idea to Blackman Santana and Smith, and together the three musicians wrote "Taxi", with Orianthi recreating Hendrix's original riff and the trio building an entirely new song around it. Orianthi stated: "Getting to hear something from Jimi that the world hasn't heard before was pretty incredible. The moment I heard that riff, I knew there was something special there and immediately started imagining what we could do with it. I brought it to Cindy and Rhonda, and we just took off from there. There's something really powerful about the three of us creating something new around a piece of music from someone who has inspired us so much. It's our way of honoring Jimi while making something that's completely our own." Via blabbermouth.net THE POWER OF 3 (ORIANTHI/SANTANA/SMITH) debut Taxi built off Unreleased HENDRIX Riff
