Vinnie Colaiuta

**Vincent Colaiuta ** () er ein amerikansk trommeslagar frå Los Angeles. Han byrja å spele trommer som barn og fekk det første trommesettet sitt av foreldra då han var fjorten år gammal. Han er kjend for den tekniske dugleiken og dei mange musikalske stilartane han har spelt i for mange artistar i mange sjangrar. 

## Karriere
Etter å ha gått på Berklee College of Music i Boston i eitt år, hadde Colaiuta det første gjennombrotet sitt som medlem av Christopher Morris Band i 1976-1977. Han spelte med dei inn plata *[[Chris Morris|Christopher Morris]] Band* (MCA 2282) i 1977 og flytta med bandet til Los Angeles. Etter han slutta i Christopher Morris Band, spelte han ei stund med loungeband. Det neste gjennombrotet hans kom i april 1978, 22 år gammal, då han prøvespelte for Frank Zappa, der han måtte framføre det særs vanskelege stykket kalla «The Black Page». Prøvespelinga var ein suksess og Colaiuta arbeidde med Zappa som den fremste trommeslagaren hans i både studio og på konsertane hans. Han spelte på dei suksessrike albuma *[[Tinsel Town Rebellion]]*, *[[Joe's Garage]]* og *[[Shut Up 'n Play Yer Guitar]]*. *Joe's Garage* vart kåra til eit av dei 25 beste trommeplatene nokon gong i 1993 av *[[Modern Drummer]]*.

Steve Vai fortalte om kor dugande Colaiuta var til å spele den særs komplekse musikken til Zappa og dei komplekse polyrytmane: 

:Han er ein av dei mest utrulege notelesarane som nokon gong har eksistert på det instrumentetet. Ein dag me var på øving med Frank, dette var tidleg i 80-åra, kom Frank med eit musikkstykke kalla «Mo 'N Herb's Vacation.» Heilt vanvittig komplekst. Trommene var skriven heilt ut på notearket, akkurat som «The Black Page» bortsett frå at det var til og med meir komplisert. Det var desse passasjane med 17 over 3 og kvart trommeskinn er oppført forskjellig. Og det var mange folk der. Eg trur Bozzio var der. Vinnie hadde notane på eit stativ føre seg. Til venstre for seg hadde han eit anna stativ med ein sushitallerken. Tempoet i stykket var ganske langsamt, som «The Black Page.» Og så kom det første riffet inn med alle desse cymbal- og hi-hat-stoppa, riffa, dei spinnande rototomane og alt det sprø greiene der. Og eg såg at Vinne las dette. Vinnie hadde for vane å dytte brillene sine opp med langfingeren på høgrehanda. Eg såg at han såg på notearket, det var den siste takten på sida. Han byrja å spele samstundes som han vendte sida med ei hand, og så snart sida var snudd, heldt han fram å spele riffet med høgre handa, strekte seg over med venstre handa og tok eit stykke sushi som han putta i munnen, heldt fram riffet med venstrehanda og foten, dytta brillene opp, og spelte resten av takten. Det var det sleipaste eg nokon gong har sett. Frank kasta musikken sin opp i lufta. Bozzio snudde og gjekk ut. Eg berre byrja å le.

Colaiuta er nemnt i Frank Zappa-songen «Catholic Girls» av rollefiguren Mary.

## Studioarbeid

Etter å ha forlate Zappa arbeidde Colaiuta med ei lang rekkje kjende rocke- og popartistar, som Gino Vannelli, Joni Mitchell, Barbra Streisand, Jay Vaquer, Clannad, Wang Chung, Chaka Khan, Megadeth, The Beach Boys, Leonard Cohen og Jeff Beck. Han har òg spelt med mange kjende jazzmusikarar, som Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, Jimmy Haslip, Quincy Jones, The Buddy Rich Big Band og Buell Neidlinger. Han har òg spelt med Chuck Loeb, David Goldblatt, David Sancious, Dean Brown, Jeff Porcaro, Jim Beard, John Patitucci, Joe Satriani, Mark Egan, Gigi D'Alessio, Robben Ford og Tim Landers.

## 1990-åra
 
I 1990 prøvespelte Colaiuta med suksess som trommeslagaren for turnebandet til Sting til støtte for albumet hans *[[The Soul Cages]]*. Colaiuta vart verande medlem av bandet til Sting dei neste sju åra. Han avslo eit tilbod om å bli med på turne for *[[Brand New Day av Sting|Brand New Day]]*-turneen i 1999 fordi ein typisk Sting-turné varte så lenge. Colaiuta speler på Sting-albuma *[[Ten Summoner's Tales]]* (1993), *[[Mercury Falling]]* (1996), tre songar på *[[Brand New Day av Sting|Brand New Day]]* (1999) og to songar på *[[Sacred Love]]* (2003). I september 2003 spelte han med Sting på ein kort promoturné for *Sacred Love*, men var ikkje med på verdsturneen. I 2011 spelte han derimot med Sting på *Back to Bass Tour*.

Colaiuta gav ut eit soloalbum i 1994, og heldt fram å vere ein av dei mest etterspurte studiomusikarane i verda og spelte på ei rekkje album, filmmusikk, fjernsyn og radiojinglar. Han er kjend for å øve og stadig prøve å verte betre: Dom Famularo, ei kjend trommelærar og ein ven av Colaiuta fortalte at ein gong han vitja Colaiuta, så opna han døra samstundes som han øvde på ei trommepute. Etter å ha stått nokre minutt i døropningen sa Colaiuta: «Eg er ein dårleg vert, eg har ikkje tilbydd deg noko! Vil du ha ei trommepute?»

Colaiuta har vunne i alt 18 Årets trommeslagar-prisar frå *[[Modern Drummer]]*. Desse omfattar 10 prisar i «Best Overall»-kategorien. Colaiuta vart innlemma i Modern Drummer Hall of Fame i 1996. Magasinet har òg omtalt Colaiuta som den viktigaste trommeslagaren i vår tid.

## Sidan 2000

I 2004 spelte Colaiuta trommer på filmmusikken til *[[Filmen Elektra (2005)|Elektra]]* sidan regissøren Rob Bowman var stor fan.

I 2006 og 2007 turnerte Colaiuta med Jeff Beck og Tal Wilkenfeld på bass, med Jason Rebello på klaverinstrument, på Eric Clapton sin Crossroads Guitar Festival.

Colaiuta spelte og turnerte med Faith Hill, spelte inn plate med thrashmetal-gruppa Megadeth på *[[The System Has Failed]]*, og turnerte med Jeff Beck og Herbie Hancock.

Hausten 2008 turnerte Colaiuta Europa med John McLaughlin, Chick Corea, Kenny Garrett og Christian McBride i Five Peace Band.

I 2009 spelte han i eit band i lag med tidlegare Zappa-musikarar, kalla The Mar Vista Philharmonic, med Tommy Mars, Bruce Fowler, Walt Fowler, Arthur Barrow, for Jon Larsen sitt Zonic Entertainment.
