Hello Fellow Wikipedia Editors: Perhaps someone could assist with the review of [[Draft:Pietro Deiro Presents the Accordion Orchestra]]? It has been submitted several times and I have recently completed a new update to the submission, but it has not received attention from a reviewer even though most of the objections appear to have been resolved. The article describes and documents noteworthy and historic performances of classical music compositions by one of the very few modern symphonic orchestras in the USA (during the mid 20th Century) consisting entirely of customized accordions on a major record label. It features orchestral performances by several leading jazz and classical music accordionists of that era including''': [[Carmen Carrozza]], Angelo Di Pippo, [[Charles Magnante]], [[John Serry Sr|John Serry]] and Joe Biviano (the "father of the accordion symphony movement in the United States") which '''helped to establish the young [[accordion]] as a legitimate orchestral instrument''' in the USA,<ref name="Jacobson">{{Cite web|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=bPhXe_qNy5QC&dq=Accordeon+Orchestra+joe+Biviano&pg=PA78|title=Squeeze This!: A Cultural History of the Accordion in America|first=Marion|last=Jacobson|date=Mar 15, 2012|publisher=University of Illinois Press|accessdate=Jan 21, 2026|via=Google Books}}</ref> and is listed on the [[Discography of American Historical Recordings]] (DAHR) database.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://adp.library.ucsb.edu/index.php/objects/detail/357199/Coral_CRL7-57323_LP |title=Coral CRL(7)-57323 (12-in. 33-1/3-rpm long-playing)|website=Adp.library.ucsb.edu|access-date=January 20, 2026}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://adp.library.ucsb.edu/index.php/mastertalent/detail/324141/Jose_Biviano_Accordion_Orchestra|title=Joe Biviano Accordion Orchestra|website=Adp.library.ucsb.edu|access-date=January 20, 2026}}</ref> These performances ere also critically reviewed in ''The [[Billboard (magazine)]]'',"<ref name="Billboard">{{Cite web|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=hR8EAAAAMBAJ&dq=Pietro+Deiro+Presents+the+Accordion+Orchestra&pg=PA33|title=Billboard|page=33|date=June 27, 1960|publisher=Nielsen Business Media, Inc.|access-date=January 28, 2025|via=Google Books}}</ref> ''[[High Fidelity (magazine)]]''<ref>[https://archive.org/details/sim_high-fidelity-musical-america_1960-09_10_9/page/90/mode/2up ''High Fidelity'', Roland Gellot Ed.
