His composition "Jesus' Last Ballad" was recorded by pianist Bill Evans on Evans' album Affinity (1979).

Bedori also collaborated with such arrangers as Augusto Martelli and Pino Presti and appeared on several of singer Mina's recordings. He also played with Italian experimental musician Franco Battiato[3] and was a guest on his 1974 album Clic released on the Island Records label.[4]
