Don Adolfo and his Orquesta Organizacion
has been compared to the latin big bands
of the great Tito Puente, Tito
Rodriguez, Machito Afro Cuban Big Band
and El Gran Combo from Puerto Rico. When
you see this band performing live you
will not sitdown, they will put you to
dance or they will make you move on your
seat.

Don Adolfo; “What began as a small
conjunto rehearsals of 1 trumpet,
tenor sax, trombone, bass, piano,
conga, bongos and timbalero who does
the lead vocals, with the intent to
do a few gigs has become one of the
best big band in the Latin
scene. Don Adolfo has created a big
band consisting of three trumpets,
three sax,1 trombone and full rhythm
section (piano, bass, conga drums,
bongos and timbales). With the help
of Mr. Guido Gonzales (the trumpet
player of the original conjunto) and
after reviewing original
compositions and arrangements by Don
Adolfo for a big band, he requested
helping with recruiting the brass
and saxophone section for the band.
With Don Adolfo's consent, Mr Guido
brought trumpet players Jami Dauber
and Tanya Darby. Mr Noah Bless,
trombone also join the band. They
became the three trumpets and one
trombone that are still members of
the band and performers of our 1st
CD title "RITMO CALIENTE". The
members of our saxophone section
Pablo Gil alto sax, Grazia Di
Giorgio tenor sax. They were the
original members of the band and
they also were performers on our 1
st CD. Pablo and Grazia are no
longer with the band but we have
replace them with Laura Dryer alto
sax, Craig Rivers alto & tenor sax,
Michael Weisberger tenor sax. Lisa
Parrott baritone sax also an
original member and performer in our
1 st CD. The Rhythm section is

Vicent bass, Roberto Velez conga
drums, Osvaldo Lora bongos and bell,
