Pete rugolo (December 25, 1915 – October 16, 2011) was a profound american jazz composer who's work was revolutionary to Jazz. He started by composing many Stan Kenton pieces in the 40s-50s. He later became a band leader in the 50s with many big name members such as Maynard Ferguson, Shelly Manne (But not before convincing Capital Records to sign very-little known at the time, Miles Davis). He would transition to composing Film / TV scores in the 60s, creating a ton of soundtracks that include: Thriller, The Fugitive, M*A*S*H, etc. Yet, he has never seen the recognision that Stan Kenton, Miles Davis, or John Williams has gotten. So, I made this site because he's freaking awesome and he deserves more recognision!!!
