Bernardo Sassetti (24 June 1970[1] - 11 May 2012) is a Portuguese jazz pianist and film composer.
Sassetti was born in Lisbon.[1] He initially played guitar, then began studying piano and music theory at age nine.[2] He became interested in jazz after hearing Bill Evans.[2] By the late 1980s, he was backing visiting musicians and teaching jazz piano in Lisbon (and, later, taught throughout other lusophonic areas).[2] During the 1990s, he worked in London, where he recorded three albums with Guy Barker's group.[2][3] His 2006 album Unreal: Sidewalk Cartoon received a four-star rating (of a possible four) in The Penguin Guide to Jazz (9th ed.),[3] and was selected as one of the 1001 best jazz albums in the 2010 Penguin guide (10th ed.).[1]
In addition to his jazz work, Sassetti has composed numerous film scores.[4] He has also acted in films, for example appearing as a member of the Napoli Jazz Sextet in The Talented Mr. Ripley.[1]
