Notes4

Pianista, compositor, arreglador y director

Supported · 2

Polito, D'Arienzo's pianist after Biagi, has led his own band since the whole D'Arienzo orchestra quit in February 1940; that band never got a recording contract.

Single source

In 1953 Polito's band is of 'intermediate complexity', bangs out the beats and sounds like the early 1940s.

Single source

When the whole band left D'Arienzo in 1940, Polito tried to copy the D'Arienzo sound, while Biagi in 1938 created his own sound in which the piano doesn't dominate.
