When not conducting the Jersey Shore Pops, Gentille, an international in-demand entertainer, arranges music and travels the world with her own big band orchestra on luxury cruise lines and in performing arts centers across the U.S. Gentille conducts and performs over 75 concerts each year with hundreds of different musicians nationwide. Her unique ability to adapt to various music styles from classical to jazz has made her a sought after concert act in performing arts centers around the world.
The Jersey Shore Pops is a big band orchestra with string section, modeled after the orchestras of the Frank Sinatra era which featured a string section along with the big band sounds.
