  vinnie colaiuta
vinnie is also the drummer on warren cuccurullo's forth-coming solo album, `thanks to frank' a tribute to the late great fz.
vinnie was sacked for basically demanding that he be paid more money than the other band-members on a particular tour (patrick or biffy or jon should be able to tell you the exact details of which tour).
vinnie and frank were on good terms when frank died, and vinnie dedicated his 1994 solo album to frank, describing him as a 'genius and mentor'.

One of the most influential drummers of all time, Vinnie Colaiuta took the world by storm in the late 1970's with his work with the late, great Frank Zappa, and has never looked back.
Although Vinnie became one of LA's busiest session players during the 1980's, his work with pop icon Sting brought him to the forefront of drumming (and music), recording and touring with him from 1990 to 1998.
Vinnie's recording credits are too numerous to list, encompassing literally thousands of album recordings, to movie soundtracks, to TV commercials, to his own solo record, but until you actually see Vinnie behind the drumkit, you can never truly appreciate the depth of his brilliance.

 LP: Players Roster: Vinnie Colaiuta
Few artists can claim the sort of longevity and acclaim enjoyed by Vinnie Colaiuta, a master drummer known as much for his extraordinarily intricate phrases as his ability to play a groove with ultimate simplicity.
In fact, this basic dichotomy of his musical persona may be the reason he remains in demand by so many top artists: Lurking beneath an apparent simplicity of phrasing is the capacity to unleash unexpected and provocative rhythmic patterns.
The point is that when the tallies are taken, Vinnie Colauita will rank as one of the most recorded and revered drummers of all time.

 JacoPastorius.com Discussion Boards - Vinnie Colaiuta playing with Megadeth!
Vinnie is a great musician, and this proves that you (like Jaco said) should keep an open mind about things (music).
Yes, we can learn from all music, I love all music, but I know that I was born to play certain styles of music, even though I really have studied all the theory about other genres,we have to be mature enough as musicians, to understand this matter and apply it to our musical attitude.
In the end, Vinnie Colaiuta plays anything you want first, because he plays for money, and I'm saying this in words of experience, I've done sessions with him and he plays for business.

Vinnie was interviewed Robyn Flans on October 1993.
Ten years ago, at the time of out first interview, Vinnie Colaiuta was not exactly what you would call "focused." "Exuberant," yes, but with an unbridled energy that seemed somehow unsettled.
These days, having a conversation with Vinnie can be as intense an experience as watching him play.

 Vinnie Colaiuta/Robben Ford/Jimmy Haslip | Jing Chi
The big ears and fleet fingers required to pull off music like this are present in spades, and Ford's pedigree revives the blues feeling that's been so often absent in jazz-rock outings.
Colaiuta reminds us that he's a master of all kinds of grooves, his polyrhythms setting up obstacle courses for the strings to playfully navigate.
Jazz-rock pioneer Brian Auger adds some hot organ to the cool drive of “Man in the Ring”, and his interaction with Haslip at solo time is priceless.

A Vinnie's famous clip playing with Buddy Rich Big Band was added to Steve Gadd's "In Session" as a bonus when it was released as a DVD.
There were also some more great materials on the tape such as the drum battle by Vinnie, Steve Gadd, and Dave Weckl, but they are not released on DVD in any way as far as I know.

They did a lot of this material in the Yoshi's sets in May, and it's very interesting to hear how different the music is with different musicians, even though the core (Vinnie C., Bill Evans, Bela) are the same.
