Modern Sound Quartet

Modern Sound Quartet was an Italian instrumental group from the Milan scene, led by the pianist and composer Oscar Rocchi. The quartet recorded a small run of albums in the second half of the 1970s, built around themes such as wild herbs, flowers, the zodiac and tarot cards. Its funk and jazz inflected tracks are now sought after by collectors of Italian library music. Modern Sound Quartet lined up Oscar Rocchi with Andrea Surdi on drums, Luigi Cappellotto on bass and Ernesto Verardi on guitar.
