Roger Webb

Roger Webb was a talented British composer, pianist, and arranger who made his mark in the world of library music and film scores during the 1960s and 1970s. Born in 1934, he kicked off his career playing jazz piano and collaborating with big bands, but he really shone through his work with production music labels like De Wolfe Music. There, he crafted atmospheric tracks and soundtracks that popped up in everything from TV shows to movies, blending groovy jazz, funk, and orchestral vibes that captured the era's spirit. If you've ever heard eerie cues in old horror flicks or upbeat instrumentals in retro ads, there's a good chance Roger was behind them—he passed away in 2002, but his music still vibes with fans of vintage sounds.

Some of his standout releases include the soundtracks for films like "Au Pair Girls" and "Bartleby," along with library albums such as "Vocal Patterns," "Moonshade," and "Shadows of Fear." Tracks like "March of the Space Invaders" show off his playful, experimental side, mixing electronic elements with traditional instrumentation. Roger had a knack for creating moods that filmmakers loved, and his catalog remains a treasure trove for crate-diggers and producers sampling classic grooves today.
