 Something
about me: I was born in 1976 in Gazzaniga (Bg
- Italy). I approached the study of music at the age of seven, attending Piano lessons
at the "S.Cecilia" Music Academy in Bergamo. I studied at the "Giuseppe Verdi" conservatory
in Milan and I finally graduated in percussion instruments and jazz music. At the
same time, I followed a course of Traditional Composition (reaching level IV). I
got the 3° place at the first international concorso of Composition and Execution
for percussions instruments and drums in Fermo.
I participated in various masters, seminaries and courses of improvement
in which I met David Searcy, David Friedman, Rud Winer and
others. I'm working in the jazz field as vibraphone player and composer; in
1999 I was selected as vibraphonist to play
with the A.M.J. Great National Orchestra.
 I
attended David Friedman's, Andrea Dulbecco's and Saverio Tasca's
seminaries (1996, 1997)
to specialize in Jazz and impromptu Music. I also attended "Seminaries of Jazz"in
Siena (2001) with Stefano Battaglia and
Franco D'andrea.
My first teacher of Jazz was Andrea Dulbecco, whom I owe my gratitude for
his great ability in transmitting the importance for me to be my own teacher. Then
I continued with
Pietro Tonolo and Tino Tracanna in the Conservatory.
Now I'm playing in the PINGAR Duo with the piano player Luca
Garro and we look through the classical jazz repertoire but we're interested,
above all, in original compositions. With this same duo I took part at the first
edition of the jazz competition "Dimensione giovani" at
Blue Note's
in Milan in December 2003, winning the 1° place.
I participated in chamber music events in Tuscany (Pisa), in Piedmont (Bergolo)
and in Lombardy (Milan, Premeno, Rozzano).
In 2006, with the Duo again, I won
the competition "Brescia JAZZonLIVE". In 2003
I formed the group Francesco Pinetti Ensemble with which I played in different
jazz music competitions (Varese Jazz - Paprika Jazz - Eleventh Musical Season of
Gavirate) and with which I recorded, in 2004,
the CD "Suono Selvatico" (Velut Luna Records)
containing my own compositions.
I
have been playing in other groups as drummer (I attended seminaries with
Dave Weckl, Bobby Durham,
Akira Jimbo, Tony Arco and Marco Minnemann), concentrating
above all in the development of my personal method, the same that I still use in
the Music Schools where I teach.
 At the moment, I'm playing in different groups which I constantly collaborate
with: Softly Funky, Open Quartett, Giovanni's Falzone Settetto,
Strings4Pin Trio, "Q" Quartet, Luca Garro Project,
Flam Quartetto and more.
