Vinnie Colaiuta
The Story
"Vinnie Colaiuta" is the jazz/fusion drummer's wicked 1994 first solo effort, with a surprising amount of depth in the songwriting, his ubiquitous chops, and contributions from guitarists such as Michael Landau, Dominic Miller and Mike Miller. A CD that tends to grow on you with repeated listenings, as nuances in groove and rhythm reveal themselves, as well as an appreciation for Landau's sound shock (on "I'm Twisted/Attack Of The 20lb Pizza" and "Bruce Lee"). Other guest performers include well-known musicians such as Sting, Chick Corea, John Patitucci and Herbie Hancock. An incredibly eclectic mix of jazz, rock and fusion idioms.
