Italian Jazz Indie Artist Sylvia Bennett featuring CD “Smile” is a reflection of passion for legendary American standards, and the desire to keep them alive with a contemporary flare. Sylvia has been compared to Barbra Streisand, Rosemary Clooney, Astrid Gilberto, Diana Krall, Ella Fitzgerald. What a compliment that happens to be true. Sylvia’s love and vocals for jazz, easy listening, and contemporary set a tone and scene which captures moments in
time.
Grammy nominated 1987 Sylvia Bennett, the timeless smooth jazz and pop vocalist sings of love with a warmth, clarity and spirit that is enveloping and tender, showcasing the depth of her skill, talent and experience. She's sung with Lionel Hampton and she's sung for presidents - all with a singular style and intimacy that is hers and hers alone.
Smile is a collection of wonderful standards, recognizable, but all with an international flair to appeal to a broader audience. The flavors are bossa novas, boleros and a new hybrid merengue. Inspiration came from a history of enjoying the styles of Sergio Mendez and Wes Montgomery. The music is grooving with luscious percussion and masterful guitar. The richness of the beautiful strings touches the heart. The tracks on the CD include classics like Smile, Witchcraft, Shadow of Your Smile, and Make Someone Happy. It also includes two bonus tracks: a Spanish version of Smile and a smooth pop version of Look of Love.
The Italian born and American raised Bennett is a singer’s singer, having sung on TV, in community theater, club dates, conventions and even the inaugurations of presidents Ronald Reagan and George Bush. Walking in the footsteps of her idols such as Barbra Streisand, Ella Fitzgerald, Barry Manilow and Bette Midler, Sylvia has opened for artists as diverse as Bob Hope, Phyllis Diller, Jackie Mason, Dizzy Gillespie, Barry Gibb and David Brenner.
