[78-L] RIP Pete Rugolo

[Kristjan Saag]

And let's not forget Pete Rugolo's own 1950's recordings: albums like 
"Introducing Pete Rugolo" and "Adventures In Rhythm" on Columbia. 
Terrific stuff - appeals to younger generations as well. My son has been 
using samples from these records in his own music production (nujazz/ 
electronica).

He also wrote many television theme songs including "The Fugitive" and "Run for Your Life." He was also instrumental (no pun intended) at the start of Harry Belafonte's career, when the singer was trying to be the next Billy Eckstine. Rugolo orchestrated eight sides Belafonte recorded for Capitol in 1949. Rugolo was 95.
