iUpdate) Jimi Bertucci: The Neverending
Story of a True Artist by Eric B ...................... BIGMUSIC.ORG
Music history is filled
with artists who should have been a more significant success.
Of these artists, Jimi Bertucci is one of the most talented and
acclaimed. Though not as widely known as he was in the 70s, Bertucci
was one of the earliest progenitors of power pop and one of its
most gifted creators.
His music history spans multiple decades, several promising groups,
and a solo career that is still active to this very day. We think
that fans of “Big Star,” “Badfinger,” “Cheap
Trick,” and “The Flaming Groovies” will love Bertucci's
hard, diverse, and unforgettable music.
Music Captured Bertucci
at a Young Age
Jimi Bertucci was born in Serra
San Bruno, Calabria, Italy as Vincenzo Donato Bertucci before
immigrating to Canada at the age of six. Vincenzo's musically-gifted
uncle Sam, an early live experience with the Beatles, and the
gift of a Hofner bass helped inspire Bertucci to pursue a music
career. As a teen, he formed “The London Tones” with
Ron Bartley and Glen Olive and played British Invasion style
music for years before adding Bob McPherson and Brian Cotterill
to expand the group's sound. During the late 60s, they grew tighter
and settled on the name “Captain Midnight.”
The Highs and Lows
of Abraham's Children
“Captain Midnight”
was first noticed by music-biz legend Jack Morrow in 1970. Morrow
was impressed by their hard-hitting style, their skilled arrangements,
the excellent playing, and the powerful singing voice of Bertucci.
By now, Vincenzo went almost solely by his nickname, Jimi, and
was writing most of their music. Unfortunately, they were forced
to change their name after an American band named “Captain
Midnight” threatened suit. Thankfully, they came up with
“Abraham's Children" and a series of diverse singles
soon followed,showing a band and songwriter who could handle
multiple different sounds.Their early work intrigued Buddha Record's
Nick Bogart, the manwho helped discover and promote KISS. He
hooked them up with George Semkiw in 1973 to produce their sole
studio album “Time.” The record is an impressive –
and underappreciated – reminder of the rich musical palate
of the early 70s.Throughout “Time,” the band plays
tight
rock and roll with a thick guitar style that was impressively
melodic and memorable for the time. However, they also integrate
instruments like flutes, congos, and the string-emulating mellotron
to create a vibrant and stylish sound.
Angel, The Police,
and Name Conflicts
“Abraham's Children”
was seeing big success in Canada and launched a tour of the whole
country throughout 1974. They had enough material for a new album
and even changed their name to “The Children” to showcase
a more mature direction. Unfortunately, serious musical differences
caused Bertucci to leave the group in 1975. While “The Children”
continued to release singles without Bertucci, none were able
to catch the highs of the previous album and the band folded
shortly after that. However, Jimi remained as bold and ambitious
as ever, forming an R&B band called “Angel” in
1975. “Angel” released just one single, “Winning
Ways,” before being forced to change their name due to a
little-remembered American heavy metal band that was big at the
time. As “Space Patrol,” Bertucci released another
single, “Burning Love,” in 1976. The material released
during this time was funky rock and roll. It featured the unique
Bertucci touch but didn't catch on with international audiences.
Another name conflict brought an abrupt end to Bertucci's next
solo project, “The Police,” and inspired him to release
his first solo album in 1981. This album was filled with the
kind of detailed power pop, soul, and R&B that had become
Bertucci's main musical style. However, it had a sharper songwriting
edge, a little more grit, and should have been a significant
hit.
Bertucci's Story is
Not Yet Done
Though Jimi never got the kind
of stardom that he deserved, he remains a hardworking and respected
international musician. He continually tours and occasionally
releases new albums, such as 2002's “Through the Eyes of
Vincenzo.”And while his music is mostly rock or power pop,
Bertucci has also released New Age albums under the name Natopus.
There truly is very little that Bertucci cannot do, and fans
of power pop owe it to themselves to check out his diverse and
always exciting music |

Before they were Abraham's
Children they were Just Us. |

 Canadian Cold Cuts - Jimi B (A&M) Jimi Bertucci's first album since
leaving Abraham's Children and Angel is worthy of his potential
as a solo artist, but its variety has left his style too vague
to establish a focal point. The two-sided-split concept he attempts
here is emphasized by the cover photography -- wave experiments
and sweet rock. Side one is fast and trendy, but falters at Shake
and Touch Me when he mixes the wrong ingredients, starting with
the basic riffs. Honourable mention goes to O'Dee an account
of Jimi's experience with a hermaphrodite that is as weird as
it's unique. The flip side belongs to AM and FM respectively
with ballads Wickless Dynamite and Strange Feeling displaying
a strong point in his writing and AOP anthem, All American Boy,
flashing his capability for an honest rocker. He penned all the
songs except Red White and Blue and Shake which were co-written
with BB Gabor. This album will probably receive lukewarm reception
from the consumers but with radio support it is the type to catch
on quickly into a brush fire. Although Jimi offers us nothing
revolutionary, he has battered freshness into his form of today's
music trends. His next step is to patent himself as a musician
of impressive variety and unique style, as is apparent in this
album. Rating Good (By Lola) |

 Canadian
Musician - Jimi B A&M
SP9069 Recorded at Masters Workshop Producer Jimi B Engineers
Steve Vaughn, Paul Massey - Jimi B's self titled disc comes as
a breath of fresh air to Toronto's new wave scene. It's well
produced and contains some excellent playing. BN's singing and
writing are great. He punks out successfully on the first-rate
new wave songs and also shows that he sing a moving ballad. Jimi
B has a lot of fun with the new wavish material like "Shake"
"Red White and Blue" and "Touch Me". The
bouncing rhythms, weird vocals and strange metallic sounds make
the songs terrific. Perhaps The oddest song is "ODee"
which is reminscent of the spoons or Talking Heads. B. shows
his other side in songs like the pop-ish "All American Boy"
and "Unit #1980". Two ballads have been included in
the album: "Strange Feeling" and "Wickless Dynamite"
B. sings with conviction on "Strange Feeling" but he
sounds a bit strained on the other. They're strong tunes nevertheless
and round out the album well. |
 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) Apparentlly
Randy Lewis did not like the band. |

The Standard
JIMI B - Jimi B is actually Jimi Bertucci, the
active ingredient behind the defunct Abraham's Children, a band
that spent many an evening dodging fists at the illustrious downtown
Montebello Inn and Casualty Centre. Jimi's still pretty face
tells me he's held up his guard with some determination over
the years. This album is a reminder that Toronto has plenty more
good music to offer. |

Keith Elshaw
In The Grooves - Q107 FM Jimi B. Jimi B A
& M 9069 Jimi (Bertucci) B's career has been incubating for
10 years since he fronted " Abraham's Children, " a
band which had a lot of success in Canada. Through ups and downs
he has been writing material which documents a young man's odyssey
through the streets, his encounters with society's special cases,
his romantic dreams, and philosophical notations. A bassist primarily,
his music has a rhythmic attitude which is appealing. The lyrics
are catchy, poetic, topical. Jimi seems to be the kind of performer
we expect to be a star and sing to us about our vulnerability
whilst living in the grand style. He sounds more like a New Yorker
than a Torontonian- or maybe it 's just that now we've grown
up and can produce and recognize star qualities in ourselves.
Jimi B is a classy artist, and his debut album should be well
received, because it is all in the grooves |
|
 THE RECORD REVIEWS Jimi B - Jimi B A&m SP -9069 Jimi Bertucci is a
veteran songwriter on the Canadian scene, and when he chooses
to rock this album is first-rate - check Red White & Blue,
Shake and All American Boy, which is a string AM grabber, Much
of the rest, however meanders badly and has little substance
- if the artist could live up to the promise of the three cuts
mentioned, he's be a major star. Meanwhile, All American Boy
is one of the best rock songs of the last 12 months.*** (photo

CIAO MR. COSTELLO (cont'd from
listen)...Liberace, Dick Clark, Johnny Carson and more, but
the most memorable of them all was Mr. Costello. His home was
not a palace, of marble and stone, but a growth of bushes that
occupied the entrance of the market. I would often visit the
local smoke shop and buy him his favorite pipe tobacco. We would
converse in English and Italian, over a cup of coffee or a soda.
I became a regular routine for me to visit this gentle man, and
I felt my presence was also a welcome aspect of his days. Although
I had moved away from this surf haven, I continued to inquire
about his well being. My heart sunk the day I heard that Mr.
Costello had been attacked, robbed, and left for dead. I was
happy to hear that the city of Malibu had placed a bronze plaque,
in his memory, near the shrubbery he called home. Whenever I
revisit the ocean playground, I stop at the shrine, and know
that he was always on the winning side. |

Jimi B. (which is for Bertucci)
is another Canadian who is heading up the ladder of success.
It has taken Jimi 10 years to be called an overnight sensation,
but he is finally attaining a certain amount of that elusive
quantity know as stardom. For anyone who feels he might be a
trivia freak, it was Jimi B. who started Abraham's Children,
and yes it was their Goddess Of Nature that was released on the
United Artists Records. Score top marks for getting both those
right. Anyway, Jimi's self titled album on A&M Records should
help introduce him to some new fans. While there are some losers
here (Shake) there are some winners like All American Boy and
some good songs that are on the border of good (Bodies In The
River, Strange Feeling). The set will not be a runnaway hit,
but could garner a fair amount of interest. Barry Sweeney. |

 MUSIC EXPRESS JIMI
B A&M
9060 With his self-titled album Jimi B has decided once again
to venture out into the touchy world of rock. Jimi Bertucci started
out with Abraham's Children in the early 70s and managed a couple
of Canadian hits including, Good-bye Farewell in 1972 and Gypsy
in 1973. Jimi B hasn't recorded since Goddess of Nature in 1975.
For his first album, the Toronto native has enlisted BB Gabor
and other top session musicians. Gabor is probably best remembered
for capturing the publics imagination a couple of years ago with
Metropolitan Life and Soviet Jewellery. Handling all the song
writing and production Jimi B comes up with a pleasant album
of rockers that rely on catchy hooks, while his singing strains
to catch the sincerity of singerslike Springsteen and John Cougar.
Jimi B's preoccupation with the American Dream makes Red White
& Blue and All American Boy seem a bit contrived for a Canadian
kid. However Touch Me and Wickless Dynamite are standouts on
the positive side of the spectrum. (photo Pickering High

 SOUND ADVICE By Brian
Wakil 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 |

 Now
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 (

 ROCK
LINES 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. (photo by google) |

I really like your stuff Jimi. Kind of sounds
like The Pixies with more heart and soul. The drums sound too
simple to be honest amd you might want to put in another extra
instrument? Really surprised how much I lole your 1st few songs.
Even the titles sound cool. I'll get back to you when I listen
to more . Aaron C - Calgary Alberta |

A fine piece of story-telling
backed by incredibly intricate and talented pop music. An assortment
of seasoned guest players compliment Jimi's style. With songs
like Dark Side, Passion and Innocence and 1965 that topped the
MP3 sites last year, the quality of the music is unquestionable.
This is a unique blend of sounds with a couple of live cuts.
The majority of songs were available last year, but have recently
been remastered and re-released. Destined to be an international
hit, the love song Sempre, is enough reason in itself to check
this out. Learn more at www.jimib.com. |

For NightLife: Now here's a real blast from the past---
remember the hits Goodbye Farewell and Gypsy? If you replied
Abraham's Children, go to the head of the class. Better yet,
if you answered Abraham's Children, why not just go see them
instead tonight atthe Lil Big Horn. It'll be their first show
in this area since 1976. " I think it was 1976," replies
singer Jimi Bertucci 53, from Los Angeles, who co-founded the
Toronto pop band as a high schooler. " That was probably
our last tour of Canada." That was also the year Bertucci
left the band, which had signed to United Artists Records and
was operating under the name The Children, to go solo. He released
one album as Jimi B on A&M before leaving dor Los Angeles
and forming the bands Angel (not the Gregg Guiffria-led unit)
and Space Patrol before returning to his solo career... and,
as fate would have it a few decades later, a refurbished Abraham's
Children |

Wallaceburg
News Weekender - 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 traveling around, continuing to write and produce until
last 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. Best cuts - Shake, Touch Me, Strange Feeling, Unit
No.1980. Jimi B is on his way be sure to get a listen to the
new sounds and new songs of Jimi B. Kathie Evenson www.tunecore.com/music/jimibertucci |
 Times
Columnist - Jimi Bertucci: Jimmy B. (A&M) Vocalist songwriter
Jimi Bertucci has paid his dues in the music business in Toronto
and Italy over the past decade and his debut album on A&M
shows a lot of polish. While some of the songs owe a lot to the
recent British influences (Red White and Blue and Touch Me could
have come from the some of the impressionistic rock bands of
Northern England), others are fine middle-of-the-road listening.
Strange Feeling for example, and All American Boy (an obvious
pitch for the U.S. market), will probably get a lot of airplay.
There are touches of metal (with Jimi himself on bass guitar)
on Shake and Unit #1980 . Other musicians include guitarist BB
Gabor and Peter Follett with Jody Colero on keys and vocorder.
While there is nothing outstanding about this Canadian album,
it makes for pleasant, if slightly unusual listening, especially
Bodies in the river. ----Paul Bennett |

 Corremio Certosa 2005 Premiato insieme a Cordiano, Simonetta e BarillariÈ
arrivato in Canada a 6 anni con una chitarra per bambini di plastica
e ora è uno dei più grandi interpreti della musica
pop e rock del Nordamerica. È Jimi (Vincenzo) Bertucci,
nato a Serra San Bruno in Calabria nel 1951. Sabato 22 ottobre
è il suo compleanno e domenica 23 gli viene assegnato
il premio Certosa 2005 per il suo "eccezionale contributo
all'arte" dall'Associazione San Bruno. Insieme a lui, per
il 2005 saranno premiati presso il Renaissance Parque, al n?
2800 della Hwy 7 W., a Concord, il ministro provinciale per lo
Sviluppo Economico, Joseph Cordiano, Michael Simonetta e Domenico
Barillari.Bertucci, nell'intervista rilasciata al Corriere, rivive
con intensa commozione il suo viaggio nel 1956 dalla Calabria
verso il Canada e la sua successiva affermazione."Il giorno
prima suonavo la mia chitarra giocattolo sul balcone di casa
mia a Serra San Bruno e il giorno dopo ero sulla nave La Roma
diretto in Canada. Lassù mi sono anche perso e mia madre
dopo che io l'ho ritrovata, per la gioia mi baciava, mi abbracciava
ma mi dava anche qualche scapaccione". "Abbiamo abitato
a Grace Street - racconta - vicino la chiesa di San Francesco,
su College e lì ho affrontato il difficile inserimento
nella realtà canadese. Ho lottato a scuola per superare
le differenze che c'erano. Non parlavo inglese e vestivo con
i vestiti italiani che mia madre mi dava; finché un giorno,
per non sentirmi diverso ho chiesto ai miei di darmi i jeans
e le scarpe da ginnastica". Dal suo racconto, Bertucci fa
emergere il suo carattere forte e determinato. "Ascoltavo
la radio e ho detto: voglio anch'io "entrare in radio"".
E Vincenzo Bertucci ha realizzato il suo sogno grazie alla collaborazione
dei suoi genitori che lo hanno assecondato. "La svolta è
arrivata nel 1964. Vado al negozio Julio music store - continua
- vicino all'angolo dove ora c'è il Diplomatico e il proprietario
mi fa vedere una chitarra elettrica, la Hofner, come quella dei
Beatles e mi chiede se mi piaceva. Mi brillavano gli occhi e
dico di sì e quello, facendomi quasi svenire mi dice:
prendila è tua. I tuoi genitori l'hanno prenotata per
te tre mesi fa e finalmente è arrivata". "A
15 anni poi decido di non andare a scuola e dedicarmi  completamente
alla musica. I miei non si oppongono alla mia decisione".A
raggiungere il successo, a insegnargli la musica e a insegnargli
a suonare il mandolino, la chitarra e la fisarmonica ci ha pensato
suo zio Salvatore.Bertucci da allora ha sempre composto la sua
musica e ha scritto i suoi testi.Nel suo ultimo cd Passion &
Innocence, fatto col suo gruppo Abraham's Children racconta i
suoi ultimi 30 anni di vita professionale e racconta soprattutto
la vita a College e Grace Street. In questo cd, c'è anche
una canzone in italiano. "Si chiama Sempre - dice Bertucci
-è una canzone d'amore e l'ho scritta e dedicata a mia
nipote che si sposava. Era il mio regalo di nozze".Ma Bertucci,
con un'altra canzone ha fatto felice anche un'altra donna: sua
madre a cui nel 1972 dedicò la prima canzone in italiano:
Bye, bye bambina occhi blu. Uno dei tanti successi come Goodbye
Farewell, Gypsy, Thank you. Data pubblicazione: 2005-10-19Indirizzo

Jimi B Jimi B - Instrumentally,
this is an interesting album, full of churning rock guitar and
a rhythm section that really pushes the music along. Unfortunately
the vocals and lyrics are embarrassingly infantile and cliche,
one out of three aint that great at record prices these days.
