Jimi Barbiani Band

"Miss the Rock and Roll"   single

(Self-issued)



"We are totally impressed to have 500, 000 visuals. That is really a lot for a Rock Blues band like the Jimi Barbiani Band," the combo's frontman told me of the video clip's popularity.

He advises that a full-length platter is slated to take up store rack occupancy next January. Up-in-arms, wee-hours party jam "Miss the Rock and Roll" will commence proceedings. (It's the kind of party whose revelers - upon cracking eyelids the following noon - won't remember how the screen door got ripped off its hinges.)

Shoes into which Jimi leapt long ago were broken in by storied plank-spankers named Hendrix, Winter, Beck, and Clapton. Not only do the chosen kicks fit Jimi snugly, but he gilds them with personal veneer. Adherents hip to the tip know the man selects only right notes. He touches them off with precision. Fleet bass negotiations by Andrea Tavian and Ian Zavan's whip-crack skins seal a deal most solid.

Author/journalist Steven J. Rosen declared that Jimi "takes the Blues-Rock vein and shoots a mellifluous form of dope into it!" 

The spent needle, abandoned in one floor corner, drips trace elements of kick-out-the-jams.
