John Bringetto brings
world-class musicianship to Perpetua. He was born in
Fresno, California in 1948. When he was four years old he
learned to play the accordion and was asked to play at private
parties. He graduated from Fresno State University with a BA
and MA in music, specializing in performance and composition.
From 1967-1969 John played solo jazz chair with the Stan Kenton
Neophonic in Los Angeles, performing regularly at the Hollywood
Bowl and on a weekly NBC TV show.
John has since played trumpet with
singers; Johnny Mathis, John Davidson, Bill Medley of the
Righteous Brothers, Nancy Wilson, B.B. King and Frankie Avalon
to name a few. In 1973 he toured with a show band, The Fabulous
Entertainers. He then led his own show bands, The Four-Way
Split and Pzazz. He has also worked with several bands in the
San Francisco Bay Area. In 1999 John and his wife left San
Francisco in their 41’ sailboat to sail around the world. He
has enjoyed playing music with Latin bands in Mexico, Central
and South America. He spent some time in Cartagena, Colombia
where he recorded a solo CD in 2003 on which he sings and plays
trumpet, flugelhorn, saxophone and piano. John is now staying
in Newport, Oregon. He plans to continue sailing around the
world in 2008 when he will sail to the South Pacific.
John can be found performing in
various venues around Lincoln County, not only on the trumpet
and fluegelhorn, but on piano and saxophone as well. We
were fortunate to have John contribute an original tune "Chevere"
to Perpetua's debut album.
