Here's some info on Pete Rugolo (from the liner notes):
Chief arranger for the Stan Kenton orchestra (mid to late
40s)
He developed a "whole new set of pieces that employed aspects
of Stravinsky
and Bartok, dismissing danceable tempos altogether in favor
of a moody,
emotionallyy arresting, offten a-tonal approach."
Became the music director at Capitol Records,
arranging/producing for every
one including Mel Torme, Peggy Lee and Nat Cole.
Produced Miles's "Birth of the Cool" sessions.
Over the 50s, 60s and 70s he did many arrangements for
Hollywood. The tv
version of THE THIN MAN. Scores for The Fugitive, Thriller,
Richard Diamond,
Run for your Life, The Bold Ones, episodes of the
Untouchables, Hawaii 5-0,
Alfred Hitchcock Presents and M*A*S*H.
Enjoy!
Sch.
