   [ George Newell Orch. ]
A truly fine band with l3 musicians (plus male & female vocalists), and a roadie-soundmixer ....several of the sidemen are "name" band alumni. The band's music is very hip/very danceable with good charts by George, yes, but other better arrangers such as Sammy Nestico, Woody Herman, Count Basie, Les Brown, Stan Kenton, Lennie Niehaus, Bill Holman, among others. They are arguably the most working band in North Jersey. In the seven-year existence of a dance series, - put on by the Big Band Dance Society of New Jersey, they hold the first place attendance record in each and every one of the years. Thus, even though some other bands often appear, The George Newell Orchestra is known as the Lead (and Charter) Orchestra for the society. (For the past seven years they have turned away reservation requests and ticket sales at the door for the band's annual appearance on Valentine's Day !!) They have also been the official band of the lead radio station in the area (WMTR-AM) for six years now, performing for all of their designated or promotional functions (and all at a fair price). A demo dance/concert CD/audiocassette is available to serious customers, and some video as well. While the band generally plays in Northern New Jersey, they often tour the entire New York City Metroplex including Westchester County, Brooklyn, NYC, etc......name it!!! One of the very interesting sidenotes about this orchestra is that they may very well have been the last Big Band to play at Windows On The World, atop the World Trade Center before "9/11/01".

From corporate dinners and gatherings to private parties and weddings, the NDO can make your night a memorable one and do so with class and style. Afraid a big band might be too much or TOO big? Call anyway. Let our smaller NDO Combo give your party that extra zing that only live music can bring to a special occasion.
