Coco Productions, Inc. is a music promotion and
production company founded by Coco Bucci in 1997 in Chicago.
Coco came to Chicago from Italy with over twenty years of
experience in the industry. Since coming to the US, his focus has
been primarily on jazz artists.
He spent a good portion of his first five years in Chicago working
with Bill Russo and the Chicago Jazz Ensemble in local concert
production as well as organizing collaborations with international
jazz festivals. He also worked with other organizations for
performances and clinics.
Clients range from new talent looking for exposure, to
internationally known artists, such as Buddy De Franco, interested
in sharing their experiences around the world.
He is currently a talent scout for independent recording labels, a
consultant for college music departments and creative consultant
for special events at international jazz festivals.
