Pete Rugolo • The Music From Richard Diamond

 



Biography
by Richard S. Ginell
Pete Rugolo was one of the most prolific arrangers for Stan Kenton's 1945-1949 orchestras, following through on the leader's swashbuckling example to help shape the band's exciting, blasting style. Brought to the U.S. at age five, Rugolo grew up in Santa Rosa, California, and became a student of Darius Milhaud at Mills College in Oakland. After a stint with the Army, he submitted an arrangement to Kenton and then settled in with the band, turning out a series of "Artistry in..." compositions ("Bass," "Percussion," "Bolero," "Boogie"), as well as some of the earliest, most startling pieces for the Innovations in Modern Music Orchestra. However, Rugolo soon gravitated toward pop, landing a position as music director of Capitol Records in 1949, where he cranked out arrangements -- some of which bordered on easy listening treacle -- for June Christy, Nat King Cole, Harry Belafonte (in his brief pop period), the Four Freshmen, and others. In 1957, he became music director of Mercury Records, making a number of albums for that label, and briefly led a big band in 1954. From the '50s onward, Rugolo moved into Hollywood, scoring TV series like The Fugitive and Run for Your Life, and several films. Consequently, his importance to jazz lessened as the years passed.

Biografía
por Richard S. Ginell
Pete Rugolo fue uno de los arreglistas más prolíficos de las orquestas de Stan Kenton entre 1945 y 1949, siguiendo el ejemplo del líder para ayudar a dar forma al emocionante estilo de la banda. Traído a Estados Unidos a los cinco años, Rugolo creció en Santa Rosa, California, y se convirtió en alumno de Darius Milhaud en el Mills College de Oakland. Tras un periodo en el ejército, presentó un arreglo a Kenton y luego se instaló en la banda, produciendo una serie de composiciones "Artistry in..." ("Bass", "Percussion", "Bolero", "Boogie"), así como algunas de las primeras y más sorprendentes piezas para la Innovations in Modern Music Orchestra. Sin embargo, Rugolo pronto se decantó por el pop, y en 1949 consiguió un puesto como director musical de Capitol Records, donde realizó arreglos -algunos de los cuales rozaban la melaza del easy listening- para June Christy, Nat King Cole, Harry Belafonte (en su breve periodo pop), los Four Freshmen y otros. En 1957, se convirtió en director musical de Mercury Records, para el que grabó varios álbumes, y dirigió brevemente una big band en 1954. A partir de los años 50, Rugolo se trasladó a Hollywood, y puso música a series de televisión como The Fugitive y Run for Your Life, y a varias películas. En consecuencia, su importancia para el jazz fue disminuyendo con el paso de los años.
