- About Me:
- First, the photo of me is from Hollaween 2006 I'm not a priest.
I am a personal manager in the music business out here in LA.
I think when I was very young someone removed the blood from my veins and replaced it with music.
My father owned the hottest musical instrument store in the whole Philly area.
Just about anyone who made it from Philly in music hung out there. We also had
a great recording studio where incredable music was made. It was great times.
My father was a great jazz drummer and teacher. He taught many big name drummers.
Played on the last Clifford Brown Album. Also conducted the Philadelphia Jazz Orchestra
and played with other well known artist. He did tracks on Chubby Checker records and other stuff from that era.
Co designed the Rogers Dynasonic snare drum.
I grew up with some of his best friends.
Buddy Rich, Joe Morello, Gene Krupa, Philly Joe Jones, on and on it goes.
***The website below is bogus. This site would not accept my info unless I put one in
I play also but have not been an active player for many years.

Great Stuff
How are all my friends out there?
I have been off the site for a few weeks.
I just got a wicked DVD of Vinnie Colaiuta with Jeff Beck and
this real young girl bass player who just shreds.
WOW WOW WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Absolutly playing at the highest level. Just great stuff!
Also Vinnie jamming with some other great players after.
Hope all is well with everyone on this site.
Stay healthy and in the pocket.
Best Wishes,
B

Everything is good o this end. I ve haven t really been giging but we do have a concert comming up in July . It s an outdoor concert in the park. We won t be headlining it but just the opportunity for some exposure is all we ask fot. Keep in touch and I will check out this cat you are talking about. By the way Are there any video clips of the band?

Those tracks were crazy fusion. It almost sounds on the same level as The Mahavishnu Orchestra or even Al Dimeola. Is it? Al? Drum tracks are my kind of playing although I don't have any fusion tracks with me on them. I have some smooth jazz stuff but no originals. My band
Direction 3:5-6 has a touch of smooth jazz with a funk twist but it is Gospel.Check the site out myspace.com/direction356
Keep in touch my friend. very nice.

I hope your feeling better my brother!
I haven't really been that busy gig wise but I am having fun playing at the church that I worship at in Camden. RTF is a fusion band from back in the 70's "Return To Forever"...
the original 4..... Chic Corea,Stanley Clark ,Al Dimeola and Lenny White. The fab 4. I believe they cut 3 albums but I only have 2. They haven't toured in 25yrs. In my opinion, but only mine, it is the concert of a lifetime.....Well keep in touch and I'll do the same.

I hope all is well. By the way "Did you know that RTF is going to be in concert at the Mann Music Center in August?" I will be there. There touring all over the world .
Peace my brother.
Keep in touch.

I just got a great video of Vinnie Colaiuta playing with Jeff Beck and some real young girl bass player who just shreds. Also, Vinnie jamming with some other great cats after the Beck show, WOW WOW WEE.
