• The Midiri Brothers Big Band. This band and it’s leaders, Joe & Paul Midiri recreate the sound of the 30’s & 40’s. If you close your eyes when you listen to this band and its “girl singer”, you might think you are listening to Ella Fitzgerald with the Dorsey Brothers, or Peggy Lee with the Benny Goodman Orchestra.
• The John Clark Orchestra. Their sound is more geared to the Count Basie Swing era.
• The Joe Cataldo Big Band.Their sound is a little more contemporary.
• The Garden State Symphonic Orchestra, under the direction of Chris Pederson is another orchestra she regularly works with as a guest soloist. With this orchestra, the focus is mainly on show tunes...with "timpani’s, bassoons," et.al..., and if you love John Philip Sousa & great movie theme music, this symphonic orchestra is the best!
