Stefano Bedetti, self-taught musician, began playing the saxophone at the age of 14. He approaches jazz by listening to recordings by Charlie Parker, Michael Brecker, John Coltrane, Sonny Rollins, Dexter Gordon, Joe Henderson, Cannonball Adderley, Hank Mobley, Sonny Stitt and all the other great musicians of that era. At 19 he is already on the international scene thanks to the drummer Giulio Capiozzo who inserts him in the historic group "AREA": Stefano takes part in the recording of the album "CHERNOBIL7991" (SonyMusic), one of the band's most loved albums. At the same time, an important collaboration begins, which will last almost ten years, with the "JESTOFUNK" group, with which he records three of the most famous albums of the band and allows him to tread the stages and the most important jazz festivals in the world. Since 2004 he has been the saxophonist of the Marco Tamburini International Quintet, a group that sees the participation of Billy Hart on drums and Cameron Brown on bass. With the same training he recorded 2 albums: "FRENICO" (CaligolaRecords, 2005) and "ISOLE" (Emarcy Records, 2007). In 2005, together with his quartet, he won the "PORSCHE GIOVANI & JAZZ", a competition for new talents organized by Veneto Jazz, and in the same year he participated in the international jazz festival in Cuba "HAVANAJAZZPLAZA" invited by Chucho Valdez. In 2007 he released his debut album as a leader, "THE BRIGHT SIDE OF THE MOON" (Philology Records), which received excellent reviews from experts and journalists in the jazz sector, published in the international magazines "Musica jazz" and “Jazzit”. The album also receives the nomination for "Best jazz album 2007" at the "Italian Jazz Awards" and affirms Stefano Bedetti as one of the most interesting saxophonists of recent years. In 2009 he moved to New York where he plays in Billy Hart's quartet and gives life to his trio composed by the legendary Victor Lewis on drums and Ed Howard on double bass. He also collaborates with many jazz stars of the New York scene, including: George Cables, Tony Scott, Billy Hart, Antonio Sanchez, Cameron Brown, Dave Stryker, Billy Drummond, Barry Altschul, Ed Howard, George Garzone, Victor Lewis, Lenny White, John Patitucci, Adam Nussbaum, John Riley.
