Sandro Brugnolini is an esteemed Italian musician and composer known for his versatile contributions to the world of music, ranging from jazz to library music and film scores. Born Alessandro Brugnolini on December 10, 1932, in Rome, Italy, he emerged as a prominent figure in the Italian jazz scene in the post-war years. Sandro studied at the prestigious Santa Cecilia Conservatory in Rome, where he honed his crafts in composition and saxophone.

Throughout the '60s and '70s, Brugnolini was actively involved in the vibrant Italian music industry, providing scores for films as well as contributing to the growing genre of library music—background tracks for film, television, and radio. His work in this field bordered the experimental, often leveraging new technology and synthesizers to create his distinctive soundscapes. Albums such as "Freedom Jazz" and "Superground" showcase his jazz-infused style, while his forays into soundtrack work, like "Gli Arcangeli (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)" and "Gungala la pantera nuda (Deluxe Edition) [Colonna sonora originale del film]", exhibit his dexterity in crafting mood and atmosphere. Sandro Brugnolini's legacy is stamped firmly in the realms of bebop, jazz-fusion, and thematic composition, influencing a generation of music enthusiasts and fellow composers.
