Vinnie Colaiuta and Nathan East jamming

[esroberto1]

The true masters just love playing, period. It ain't money, it ain't fame, it ain't respect... it's just pure, mad joy.

[kinclongest]

@givinitsome everyone has his own playing style, if you have the guts to compare 2 giants, why don't you prove your skills then?

[gretschjazzer]

As usual, Vinnie swings like a rusty gate. Seeing him even attempt to play jazz is a painful experience. Please Vinnie - stick to your lame west coast fusion bullshit.

[LennyRhys]

@gretschjazzer let me guess, you could teach Vinnie how to swing? LOL

[holaoaky]

@gretschjazzer you need to finish kindergarten...

[holaoaky]

@holaoaky ur as gay as the guy on the quaker packages...

[trendyjon1]

Love the way vinnie just shreds the kit, and its only sound check,,,LOL.

[PragueFanity]

Not bad for the soundman's band. Is that Bill Winn "singing" lead?

[givinitsome]

Don't care what you say, Vinnie's amazing but just ain't even close to Tony Williams. Williams could play 3 times as fast, with a 'scrappy' 'careless' feel at the same time; thus not making his playing sound tense.

But even if I 'only' had Vinnie's skill, I wouldn't be too upset either. :P

[Jornev]

@givinitsome I really don't care what you say, but my fucking pig is irreperable.

[JokersSmile82]

holy shit

[Hackfrostcs]

THE MASTER!

[reassert]

I have to say...those guys REALLY enjoy their music, even in sound-checking.

[BOSEKPETER]

nice

[brantan84]

1.36 to 1.38 wtf

[elsegno]

Esta versión es un espanto.

[ins7777]

Not a bad drummer. Who is he? ; )

[protooler7]

you don't? one of the very best the drumming world has ever known.

[ins7777]

@ins7777 I'm joking!!!

Sarcasm turned off!

[Croatch]

hahahahahah, Funniest comment ever on youtube.

[pauldrummer77]

Listen to Brian Bomberg Wood and Wood II CD's, totally standard. Nice.

But I prefer Vinnie playing jazz with Allan Pasqua or DEDICATION wihth Bunny Brunel, Mike Stern and the great Billy Child!!!

bye

[billyhw]

I almost forgot Vinnie can swing like nuts; he's been playing mainly fusion/rock these days. I haven't seen him play swing since the Buddy Rich Memorial Concert video in 1992. Those who knows albums/videos where Vinnie plays jazz standards please kindly let me know. Thx in advance.

[murdstyx]

Check out Chick Corea live at the blue note in Tokyo. It's also a DVD of which there are posts here on you tube. Eric Marienthal's Cross Roads has a killer bop track that Vinnie rips to pieces. He also did some great work with Allan Pasqua.

[sofakingrate]

Hi billyhw! You should listen to Unreel, by Randy Waldman. The standards are rearranged and tremendously so, and Vinnie on tthat album is simply... unreal! (pun intended ;-)

[serialdrummer5353]

@billyhw man.... that's shit!!! that's not "swing" thats just too many notes and sounds... thats not music!!!! fuck what a great like Vinnie think when he plays jazz... dude he's a fan of Tony Williams well... he should learn his cymbal technique at least....

[danhughart]

@billyhw Get Renee Olstead's second album. It's mostly big band style produced by David Foster. Phenomenal. Renee is beyond astonishing and Vinnie really swings on this stuff.

[GuyMagicFingers]

sublime!

[generatrix999]

Who's playing key's?

[jpb318]

Herbie Hancock

[marcusphenom31]

both are superb as always

[kingjazz3r]

It's not a Stan Getz classic...It's "Seven Steps To Heaven" written by Victor Feldman when he was with Miles Davis. Tony Williams was the original drummer playing it on the Miles recording.

[SeerTrulth]

@kingjazz3r And oh my dammit, Vinnie tried.

[Oneness100]

Vinnie needs to get a better sounding China, that thing sounds un-musical.

[Nikkorea]

stan getz classic right there
