Oscar Rocchi

Oscar Rocchi is an Italian pianist and composer who began working as a session musician in Milan in the 1960s and became a leading figure of the city's jazz scene. In the 1970s he wrote library and pop-jazz albums, records that have been reissued in recent years. Rocchi's library work includes Erbe Selvatiche, Pop-Paraphrenia and Woman's Colours, the last co-written with his friend Giancarlo Barigozzi. Dramatest, an experimental library record of short electronic pieces made with Fabio Fabor, came out on Fonovideo in 1974, and Rocchi also wrote with Barigozzi and Fabor on Stressorama.
