Composer Alessandro Alessandroni has died at the age of 92. Alessandroni was one of Italy's musical greats; a composer, conductor and arranger of incredible skill and artistery who was also a gifted multi-instrumentalist. He famously worked with Nino Rota and Ennio Morricone who found themselves enthralled by his whistling. Alessandroni also performed alongside his wife Giulia De Mutiis and legendary cinema soprano Edda Dell'Orso. During his career in pitcures, he composed scintillating jazz melodies and groovalicious lounge exotica, piecing together vibrant compositions for envelope-pushing genre specialists like Marino Girolami, Guido Zurli, Enzo Castellari, Joe D'Amato, Michele Massimo Tarantini, and his good friend Alfonso Brescia with whom he collaborated numerous times. He will be greatly missed.
"In the village of Soriano, where I grew up, there were small shops called Barber & Taylor shops and they had a myriad of instruments hanging on the walls. In between clients, or when there were no clients at all, anyone could play the mandolin, or guitar, or cello, or clarinet, .and that is how I started this journey. I am self-taught with no professional training."

Thanks for the music.
Alessandro Alessandroni Rest in Peace
