Band of Gypsys is a live album by Jimi Hendrix and the first without his original group, the Jimi Hendrix Experience. It was recorded on January 1, 1970, at the Fillmore East in New York City with Billy Cox on bass and Buddy Miles on drums, frequently referred to as the Band of Gypsys. The album mixes funk and rhythm and blues elements with hard rock and jamming, an approach which later became the basis of funk rock.

Stepping Stone" is a song by Hendrix Band of Gypsys, which was originally released as a single in the United States backed with "Izabella" on April 8, 1970 – the last single released by Hendrix before his death. A second version is featured on his 1972 third posthumous studio album War Heroes. Written and produced by Hendrix, the song was recorded early in 1970 with the short-lived Band of Gypsys lineup of Hendrix, Billy Cox and Buddy Miles.

Jimi Hendrix's 'Band of Gypsys' was released on March 25, 1970, but by then the group had already broken u. He ran late on an album he owed his current label Warner Bros. Despite this chaos, in September Hendrix formed a new group, comprised of bassist Billy Cox (who’d performed with him at Woodstock) and drummer Buddy Miles (who’d he’d met during their early 60s chitlin’ circuit days). While tape rolled, the Band of Gypsys would play two shows on New Year’s Eve and two more on New Year’s Day. The resulting album, released on March 25, 1970, featured eight tracks, and offered a turn away from the psychedelic song craft that had characterized Are You Experienced? and Electric Ladyland.
