PRODUCED BY STANLEY LEWIS

What makes a baseball team win pennants, or a business succeed, or a country become a great nation? - LEADERSHIP!!  By the same token what turns a good orchestra into a great, swinging orchestra? - LEADERSHIP.
Herbie Olivieri, is a leader of such an orchestra.  Not an average or good orchestra, but a great one.  He has taken a group of good musicians and molded them into one of the tightest, most explosive Latin bands ever assembled.  A band leader cannot achieve this without two very important requirements, ambition and determination.  Herbie Olivieri possesses both these qualities and here shows them in the recording studio, where this album was created.
Herbie, a native of Mayaguez, Puerto Rico, began his musical career in New York City, in 1959, when he began taking trumpet lessons in his spare time.  After six years of playing with various Latin bands throughout the city, he felt it was time for him to put together his ideas and create his own sound in his own style.  Now, three years later, all of his hard work and devotion have been put on tape and are available for the public to listen to and enjoy.
Take all of these ingredients plus Herbie Olivieri and you come up with quite a 'SWINGIN' COMBINATION.'

This original longplay record album was released as SM-104 by Speed Records in 1968, and is part of my personal collection.  I ripped its contents for my enjoyment and created this video hoping to share it with others who appreciate hard-to-find and obscure music.
