The orchestra has been a
successful, constantly evolving organization since its inception in
1980. The orchestra, which consists of fine professional musicians is a
realization of a dream that began for Anthony "Tony" Nervine
in high school and continued through a stint in the Navy, and into
civilian life, where it came to fruition. The musicians enjoy a wealth
of experience having performed with such well known entertainers as:
Buddy Rich, Nelson Riddle, Lionel Hampton, and others as well as
vocalists the likes of Mel Tormè. For
the perfect harmony of dancing and listening and for a uniquely
enjoyable experience this orchestra is something special.
The orchestra has performed throughout the NY/NJ metropolitan
area for example:

always searching for innovative ways to entertain..
