Re: Is it true that Jon Lord played with Jimi Hendrix?
I'm very surprised that Ian Paice hasn't been brought up here, concerning Hendrix.

Not really responding to this question, but I would like to contact Jon regarding his Artwood days. I have a number of live recordings, one of which I made in Llandudno, which is where I first met the Art Woods. In early 1965 I moved to London and saw the Artwoods at almost all of their 100 Club dates. Not sure if Jon would still have some of the BBC radio or tv material etc, but would love to make contact again after so many years. If this can be relayed to Jon for his response, or provide me with Jon's e-mail address so that I may contact him directly, it would be appreciated. Tony.
If you haven't contacted him yet (after three years!) then perhaps you can contact his management:

Re: Is it true that Jon Lord played with Jimi Hendrix?
This a very late reply to a very old topic, but here is an eye witness account that I stumbled across quite by accident in the garage/freakbeat magazine Psychotic Reaction just yesterday.
From an interview with Scott Morgan, lead singer with The Rationals:
It was during this period that the Rationals played a residency at Steve Paul's famous Scene club in New York. "We went to New York for an entire week. We were one of the house bands...not THE house band; there were several bands that were there for kind of the same period. We played for a whole week, and during the week, Slim Harpo came in for four days, five days or something. NRBQ came in for one night, Fleetwood Mac came in for one night, a band called the Flock [former Chicago garage punkers turned hippie art-rockers] played one night. Johnny Winter was there several nights, because Steve Paul was his manager. Jimi Hendrix would come in on a regular basis and bring in various people to play, whoever happened to be in town. He'd get 'em in there as his backup band. The last night he was there, he had Stephen Stills on bass, Mick Fleetwood on drums, Jon Lord from Deep Purple on keyboards, and him and Johnny Winter both playing guitars. It was a pretty cool band; that was a nice experience.
If the account is accurate, maybe this was the second night that Jon talks about in the original post. However, the piece from which this extract is taken dates this event at around 1968.
Either way, it's the kind of line-up you'd only ever get in 'dream band' threads. Incredible.
