Hardy Fischotter mp3

[r_navega]

Hardy Fischotter is a great German drummer very influenced by Vinnie Colaiuta, with a very clean technique, nice fusion grooves and impressive solos. He recorded some great albums with Susan Weinert, a female guitar player very influenced by Allan Holdsworth and Scott Henderson. I think HODers should check him out. So, I posted a mp3 here. Curiously, that track is called ?Vinnie? (from Susan Weinert?s The Bottom Line) and, about 5:56, Hardy plays a solo with some typical Vinnie Colaiuta phrases.

Hey Navega,

Thanks for your great post.

Yeah this guy can play !!!
We can hear Weckl too in his play.
How he plays, he reminds me Steve Holmes too.

And yes song has some Holdsworth's sound...
Great.

Actually, the reason that tune is entitled "Vinnie" is because that's Vinnie on drums. He wasn't credited with the session on the album credits, but it's him.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Vinnie Colaiuta? I don?t think so. Where did you get this info? I just read the "Special Thanks" section. Rachel Z (who played keyboards on "Vinnie"), Joey Heredia, Gary Willis and many others are listed there but Vinnie Colaiuta isn't mentioned. Like I said, Hardy Fischotter is VERY influenced by Vinnie.
Here, another mp3: "Triple X", also from Susan Weinert?s The Bottom Line (again, at the end of this tune you can listen to some Colaiuta-inspired fills)

Hi Derek. NO. Vinnie did that one tune with Susan so that's what they named the tune, because it was basically a feature (obviously) for him. I bought the record because of the Vinnie showcase tune... it is a great album however and Hardy F. does a great job on the rest of the tracks.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">The three first Susan Weinert's albums are my favorites, namely: "Mysterious Stories", "Crunch Time" and "The Bottom Line". All of them are full of Colaiuta-inspired ideas. Susan Weinert just released a new cd, which according to reviews is very influenced by "IOU"-era Allan Holdsworth.

Hey Yamdrum,

I just went to listen this track named "Vinnie" again very carrefuly.
Well I really don't think that it's Vinnie on drums.
If it's him, I'm really surprised, but I think that it's nothim.

Hmmmmm contencious! I haven't listened to the second track, but I have to agree with Rodge. On hearing the first track, I would say that it's a guy who is obviously heavile influenced by Vinnie, but it isn't the man himself.

Steve? Randy? Any thoughts? [img]wink.gif[/img]
