This year’s event has featured music reading sessions, panel discussions, research presentations, and musical performances by John Hollenbeck’s Claudia Quintet, the Billy Childs Quartet, and Chuck Owen & the Jazz Surge. The 2017 Jazz Composers’ Symposium has brought jazz composers and arrangers of all backgrounds together to the University of South Florida campus to learn, discover, and share in a vibrant and interactive environment.
The Board of ISAJC is composed by some of most prestigious arrangers/composer in the world scene, such as Maria Schneider, Rufus Reid, John Clayton, Ryan Truesdell, Chuck Owen, John Hollenbeck and Billy Childs. The International Society of Jazz Arrangers and Composers (ISJAC), has been created to unite and serve the international community of jazz arrangers and composers with the aim to stimulate the creation, performance, and dissemination of new works and research. In May I was invited to join the 2017 Jazz Composers’ Symposium organized by ISJAC in Tampa (Florida – U.S.A). ".fine and elegant piece of workmanship, with effective voices and instruments that are often very warm and communicative, engaged in the performance of six songs." Sergio Spada (Il Suono) ".Duccio Bertini is a young arranger who is particularly attentive to the potential of the orchestra that has merged, in a modern key, with that of the soloists and timbres.…" Vittorio Formenti (Mescalina)
And that is to say differently from a big band, where there is often little space for colors and silence.” Paolo Fresu It plays as I would like an orchestra to play, broadly speaking. the Futura Jazz Orchestra? What can I say? It’s great. “.That's was incredible! Beautiful voice! Beautiful arrangement! Beautiful players! Thanks.what a wonderful surprise. "…the result is remarkable from several points of view: an unusual repertoire (themes by Wheeler, Burrell, Swallow, Dorough and two original ones) treated with fantasy, lightness and aristocratic taste." Leonardi (Musica Jazz) ".Good taste in the arrangements, which are flawless, light and impalpable like cirrus clouds on a warm midsummer day." Vincenzo Roggero (All About Jazz) “.The music is really great-well done and Perico is playing great” David Liebman I feel Duccio Bertini has a good future.” Sammy Nestico I wish you much luck with your musical endeavors. Your skills prove that jazz writing is in very capable hands. The interview is featured on a well-received iTunes Podcast Channel and the Neon Jazz radio program running on the weekends out of Kansas City, MO.".I was impressed with the musicianship on your CD. I recorded an interview with Joe Dimino for his Neon Jazz Interview series. I am working on making available all of my scores on the website. There are small group charts of all instrumentations and brass quintet originals and arrangements. Many of the charts for The BP Express are available here, as well as my original library for the Brian Pareschi Jazz Orchestra, and much more.

I am excited to make available to you a catalog of my music in pdf form. There are some new videos of recent performances on my you tube channel. Check the events page for more information. I am booking performances with this group The BP Express at clubs in and around NYC. This first recording presents a combination of originals and standards, and features an all-star lineup of jazz musicians, and is now available on all major digital media and through this website. I'm looking forward to the next project, which I'm planning on recording in the spring. My new CD Brian Pareschi and The BP Express, has climbed as high as #21 on the JazzWeek charts. All told, this is a very impressive CD which, in a just musical world, would sell a zillion copies! But it’s nice to reacquaint with a couple of underdone, well-written tunes. Incidentally, the standards here are “I Believe in You” and “I Cover the Waterfront.” They’re very different from each other, that’s for sure. But the common thread is his outstanding control and depth at any tempo. As for Pareschi himself, his tone can move from fiery to subtle and serene. Most of the tunes are his original compositions, and like Paich did decades ago, Pareschi writes distinctive flowing melodies and turns over very generous solo space to his skilled colleagues. Well, 3000 miles away in New York, trumpet player extraordinaire Brian Pareschi has latched onto that concept with his own octet/nonet.
They also dabbled in established standards. Does anyone out there remember the name Marty Paich? He was a West Coast pianist who assembled a ninepiece little big band and excelled at writing exclusively for his talented players.
