Bertucci
has been announced for almost a decade. His original band Abraham's
Children who had three albums released but shortly after the
third album in 1975 the band dismembered. Since then he has been

year when he returned to Toronto to sign with A&M. His debut
album features some good Canadian artists; bassist Prakash John,
guitarists BB Gabor and Peter Follett, and keyboardist Jody Colero.

By Dirk Kiy Jimi B Jimi B Fist Fleet Street Furnished
by A&M Records - Although Canadian bands don't nearly get
the amount of push and air time that American and British rock
bands do, There are some very impressive homegrown bands going.
Such in the case with the new Jimi B album. Unfortunately with
the good, there is quite often, the not so good, and the Fist
album falls under that category. Let's start with the better
album. Jimi Bertucci was raised in "Little Italy" in
Toronto and has had some success back in the seventies with a
band that some of you may remember, called Abraham's Children,
who's :Goddess of Nature received some airplay. Jimi B has now
come back with a dynamite debut solo album which he wrote, produced
and does all the singing on. This is a Canadian album all the
way, being recorded in Toronto, and using some fine Canadian
musicians, such as bass player Prakash John (best known for his
work with Alice Cooper) and the fast rising BB Gabor. The album
has a multitude of different sounds, but side one is all new
wave, from the very strange start of "Red White and Blue,"
with its hints of Peter Gabriel to the Cars - like "O Dee"
which closes the side.The other two cuts on the opening side
are not as strong as the two mentioned, but they are definitely
- different.The lyrics are sharp and witty from " she knows
what to say she knows what to do, she's sticking to me like crazy
glue" to "O Dee's" sex change subject matter.
Side two is more standard in musical terms, but it is super not
a weak cut on it. "All American Boy" is a great cut
complete with a real nice guitar break and background singing."Strange
Feeling" is slow, very pretty number, that is perfect AM
material, not meaning it's poppy, just a great song. A vocoder
serves as the voice of "Unit 1980" a robot "motivated
by the future". This is sneakingly. reminiscent of Nick
Gilder. |

Producer/actor/screenwriter,
Victor Altomare, has come up with a dark comedy that surpasses
the ideology of the human ego, so I'm told. I'm planning to view
this controversial celluloid named The Great Chameleon in November
so I will refrain from commenting any further for now, although
I have heard that Stacy Keach and my friend Robert Davi do a
fine job. The Great Chameleon opened in Toronto on June 14th
2013.and will premiere in Hollywood on Nov. 6th to 13th. (google photo) |

 Variations on Gould Toronto - CBC
Radio "I have an extra ticket and you have to come!!!"
My mind was racing like a Guinea pig in an annoying spinner.
Everything I ever thought about the CBC would soon become clearer
to me. We arrived at the Glen Gould Studio, in the heart of Toronto
. A fair portion of this lustrous real-estate is dedicated to
a man, a musician, a genius, that played piano. I can hear them
all in unison, PLAYED PIANO. And while the kind folks of the
great white north continue to invest their tax dollars in support
of the arts programs in Canada , the CBC was looking pretty good.
The reception for this monumental celebration convinced me that
class still finds its way around town. Had it not been for that
annoying buzzer that begins way too soon like a last call for
snooting....this would have been a perfect cultural evening,
well at least for me. I forgot to mention that this Mardi gras
was a ten-day affair. I was thrust into the pits of fortune for
but one of these tux and running shoes eventful evenings. When
Andre LaPlante hit the stage, I can honestly say I did not have
a clue who this gentleman was....he appeared to look like a classical
pianist and I expected just that. Before I tell you how awesome
this artist was, let me explain the importance of this gala.

 TORONTO - THE DUKES - A JEWEL IN A CELLULOID
REEL. What the heck
is that guy's name? I've seen him in hundreds of movies, Die
Hard, Son of the Pink Panther, Predator 2, Christopher Columbus
and many others. He's genuine when it comes to portraying the
villain or bad guy and, for the most part, he has been just that
during his lengthy career. When we watch him on the screen, we
wait for the bad-boy trademark that has made him an icon of film
and television. So what happens when we see someone out of their
element? Tonight we saw a different Robert Davi. This was his
directorial debut, as he challenged his comfort zone from a new
perspective of filmmaking.
The Dukes, which was also co-written by Davi, displays a sense
of sincerity and humanity that I believe has been in this giant
of a man for many years. The 2-hour plus film that received rave
reviews in Rome during the festival garnered the same impact
in Toronto as the crowd cheered for the screen heroes. This movie
is about friends and time. It's about recapturing the past, something
which has always intimidated the actor or musician, and the pressure
of being again what he was during a time when his popularity
seemed endless. In an ever-changing society that indulges in
the trend of the week, The Dukes reflects on the soul of comradery
and the need to keep a dream alive long after the public has
retired its ideals. Davi, a trained opera singer, displays his
vocal talent in the doo-wop flick as a natural. His supporting
cast, which includes Chas Palminteri, Peter... (more) |

JIMI
BERTUCCI
is best known as the founding
member and principal singer-songwriter for the ‘70s hit-making
band ABRAHAM'S CHILDREN. Born Vincenzo Donato Bertucci in Serra
San Bruno, Calabria Italy, he immigrated to Toronto, Canada at
the young age of six. Jimi lived in a large household of relatives
in Toronto's "little Italy”, including his Uncle Sam
who could play a variety of instruments including the accordion
and mandolin. Over time, Uncle Sam's musical influence over the
young Vincenzo would become profound. After being the lucky winner
of tickets from "Sam the Record Man", Jimi went to
see the Beatles perform Live at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto
at the impressionable age of 13. It was following that monumental
experience that he became inspired to envision his life as a
musician. The surprise gift of a Hofner Beatle bass by his parents
sealed his fate. He soon met another local musician Ron Bartley
and together they would form their first group called "Just
Us." They later added Bob McPherson and Brian Cotterill
to the group and, following a number of name changes, the hit-making
band "Abraham's Children" was born. As the band’s
principal songwriter, Jimi penned their first national hit song
called "Goodbye Farewell" while signed to Gas Records.
Other hits followed including Gypsy, Thank You and Goddess Of
Nature. The band toured heavily and extensively to large enthusiastic
crowds. Wanting to explore other avenues with his music Jimi
embarked in a different direction in 1976 leaving The Children
behind. Quick to recognize his talent, United Artists Records
wasted no time in signing Jimi. Finally,  having
the creative freedom he had craved, he produced a pop-influenced
band called "Space Patrol" and later "Angel",
a band more on the R&B side. While on the A&M label in
the 80’s, Jimi formed the band "The Police" which
gained an enthusiastic following but who, due to disputes with
the label, soon split. With his newly formed band Jimi B in the
90's, he decided it was time to get back on the road and did
just that, appearing at some of the more popular places in Hollywood
such as The Roxy, The Whisky, Club 369, The Vipor Room, Rumps
and others. He continued to tour and record all over the USA.
As a prolific songwriter and solo artist he released Through
The Eyes of Vincenzo, along with numerous other singles. Most
recently, he has released some of his poetry writings which are
being critically well-received. In 2004, after many requests
from fans who wanted to see him in Canada, Jimi reformed "Abraham's
Children" and toured the great white north. Although he
was the only original member of the band they played all the
hits and satisfied a crowd that for so long were anxious to see
Jimi and The Children perform. In 2005 the band was back on the
road again promoting Jimi's most recent project, a new double
cd set titled "Abraham's Children 30", that captures
the last thirty years of pop music with his band.This year Jimi
released a collection of poetry that has been well received in
the literary world. Also in the works is his involvement as writer
and producer with his daughter Julie. They have been in the studio
doing some pre- production and hope to release a cd in the near
future. His plans remain to be committed to his art, including
touring and recording, and doing what he does best, exploring
music to its fullest, writing, cooking, surfing and snowboarding.

THE NATURAL L Have you ever felt a rush of silent
energy that moves your inner soul? At seven in the morning, with
eyes wide shut, I flopped myself onto the black leather couch
against the mixing console that had probably seen a lot of rock
n roll. Recording studios were designed to be dark for many reasons.
The usual suspects shuffled in, all dressed in tasteful seventies
garb, ready to lay down some tracks that would eventually become
classic hits. The flower powering era was mostly a continuation
of the sixties, with some new flavors du jour. I was introduced
to this petite, angelic looking, young woman with soft blonde
hair and a slight sexy overbite. Her manners were polished and
her professional attitude was clear as I handed her the music
and lyrics sheet.
Years have slowly written the tales of hardship and triumphs
on the many faces that have had a hunger for success in the arts.
Beverly D’Angelo has been a visible and important spoke
in the wheels of entertainment. From her humble beginnings as
a singer in local bands and studio sessions, she maintained a
true sense of artistic integrity. Her voice was fresh while at
the same time mature, unintimidated by the mechanics of the room
or record company suits that constantly got their cheap thrills
by hanging about. My eyes and ears felt her desire to satisfy
my musical needs as she complimented the previously recorded
lead vocals. You can’t help but be excited when you recognize
true talent. I asked Beverly if she was available for the next
few days to finish the backing vocals. Her warm smile and friendly
 nod expressed her deep appreciation. She
was a 'natural' as they say. I followed her career from “Every
Which Way But Loose” with Clint Eastwood, another one of
my favorites, to the more recent series “Entourage.”
I was blown away by her performance and vocal contributions as
“Patsy Cline” in the acclaimed A Coal Miners Daughter.
It was and still is classic singing. Her acting accomplishments
are endless. Now, her biggest role is that of mom to her twins
with Al Pacino. One can’t help but feel a connection even
if it’s only a tiny one. BUBBLEGUM HERO Photos by

 (cont'd from history page) ...Records. This
was not the first time that A&M had been lurking from the
sidelines as the boys rocked the venue. Strawberry decided they
would meet with the label and discuss what they were ready to
offer the band. It all sounded good, but for one small detail.
They wanted the group to change its name. The band was shocked
and couldn't understand why they would want them to change the
name. It was a great name, inviting all kinds of marketing ideas,
not to mention that they already had a big following. The band
decided not to change its name. Within a couple of weeks after
that meeting A&M announced that they had signed a band in
England called The Police who had just released its first single
called Roxanne. Jimi and the rest of the group were furious and
expected that A&M had known all along. The band decided to
take a break, during which time they would think about a new
name. It never happened. The guys would all go their separate
ways. Ironically, Jimi would end up signing as a solo artist
with A&M Records and release his self-titled album Jimi B.
and that's another story in itself. (photo

I.W.O.F. As
a young boy in the new world, my dreams were heightened by endless
possibilities. Growing up on Grace Street, the melting pot of
a pulsing environment made me street smart, with a passion to
explore the newness of my surroundings. My hood had it all, musicians,
athletes, politicians, actors, novelists …this eclectic
gathering of determined ethnic opportunists would eventually
roar to recognition. Our struggles were those typical of newcomers
to a culture that was complacent in many ways. My roots and traditions
of human nature can be attributed to a community that made me
feel secure and safe. The Italian Walk Of Fame will be a reminder
of all those that dream and never stop dreaming. |

 WE had a philosophy on the road: You can spend
the night, but don't use my toothbrush in the morning. How preposterously
arrogant. But as much as some don't like to admit, rock n roll
is a cavalier art. From the first day I picked up a guitar, I
felt my confidence was enhanced drastically, and in the process
the recognition of my talents exuded. I remember the first gig
I performed at was a dance at a boys and girls club. After we
finished our set, I was swarmed by pretty girls wanting my sole
attention. That was the beginning. My instrument became my addiction.
Endless hours were spent honing my craft, in the basement of
my parents' home. I would sometimes feign illness so that I could
stay home from school to play my guitar. My feelings of proliferation
were a constant battle, I needed to exercise my brain, now more
than ever, and it was this...(more) |

The more I peruse the site the more I amaze myself..not because
of the important information I discover...but the wealth of creative
subject lines that intrigue my stubborn senses. My tolerence
for mechanical stimulation is strangled by the very reason I

Brampton Ontario - Ah sugar
sugar na na na na na na ah honey honey...it's bubblegum heroes
Jimi Bertucci and Andy Kim. The two met up at the Ontario Provincial
Police 100th anniversary bash in Brampton, Ontario. The Black
and White sold-out gala was a who's who of Ontario politics and
the jewel rattling crowd. With 1600 in attendance the place was
rockin'. O.P.P.Commissioner Julian Fantino and about 50 of his
loyal officers added color and entertainment to the exciting
evening. Andy performed all his hits, filling the room with nostalgic
sediments and at times a sing along. Now I would have to say
that Andy takes the prize as bubblegum king..I mean, let's face
it, Sugar Sugar, was one of his biggest hits. Originally written
for the Archies, it was Mr. Kim who not only sang lead on it
but managed to sell a few million copies to boot. He even included
one of my own favorites, Rock Me Gently - Photo by Georgie Onuska

Magazine - Jimi B's Schizo JIMI B (A&M)
Rating: NN Toronto's Jimi B. might have only one name but he's
got two musical personalities, on this his first A&M record.
Side one is a painful collection of music which Jimi and his
buddies B.B. Gabor and others sound like Cars-clones (and the
Cars don't even do good Cars these days). The first side is full
of annoying . vocal gimmicks and non melodic songs reminiscent
of bad B.B. Gabor. Gabor doesn't do Jimi any favors by bringing
along a tedious song Shake from his latest album. Toronto's hottest
bassist, Prakash John provides the only interesting moments here.
On side two Jimi does a complete turnaround and moves from doing
used Cars to classic Canuck-pop-rock in the Prism, Saga, Loverboy
mode. Lots of soaring vocals and "uplifting guitar breaks".
While not my cup of tea, it's pleasant stuff and All American
Boy should be the first single from the album. There's some nice
flashy guitar work, Jimi stops messing around with his vocals
and lets his pleasant voice shine through. Michael Hollett |

 Los Angeles Times - The opening act local rocker Jimi B. was as obtuse
and impenetrable as the Rankins' set was direct and accessible.
A long time Toronto resident who said he has been living in Orange
County for about 10 years, Jimi B. (Bertucci) led his four cohorts
through a handful of meandering original songs that included
traces of 70s' rock a la Steely Dan or Todd Rundgren with neither
the sophisticated chops of the former nor the pop catchiness
of the latter. (Boo Hoo) |

Artist- Jimi B Album: Jimi B Label: A&M SP9069 Leave it to Toronto to produce another
fresh breeze in what has lately become a progressively stale
North American scene. Jimi B is an artist and album that flaunts
very periodic flashes of imagination in writing and performance.
In fact, Jimi B. could quite possibly be the most exportable
Canadian musical talent this year, unless something dramatic
surfaces. With the assistance of well known Toronto performers,
BB Gabor and Prakash John, the album becomes a veritable catapult
of influence and style. The moments of excitement out number
the more mainstream two to one. If the Cars hadn't lost direction
and interest and was still producing albums as progressive and
interesting as its first, it would probably not sound unlike
Jimi B. The big difference here is that Jimi B hasn't yet sacrificed
inventiveness for strict formula. News Advertiser |
