New video on Youtube

One of my new video's is now on Youtube as well as my website. Lots of people ask me about the story behind the making of the CD "Songs from the Heart featuring The Three Tenors..Boots Randolph, Ed Calle and Kirk Whalum"  For this video, I was interviewed and also performed selections from the record.

It's quite an interesting story about how the project came about and also features an interview with producer extraordinairre Hal S. Batt.  People into smooth jazz, straight ahead jazz, adult standards and adult contemporary music are telling me that this CD is for them. I am so glad!  Check out the Youtube link and send along to a friend who might be interested. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZO6av0US58I

Thanks!  From the heart -- Sylvia

California in August

I love Californa and spend several months there every year and always love performing there as well as spending vacation time. I'm excited about being in southern California in early August.  California friends mark your calendars now and plan to be at the Catalina Jazz Club at the Catalina Bar & Grill where I will perform Aug. 6 this year.  It's a great venue and I so look forward to seeing many of my California friends and fans there. --- from the heart -- Sylvia

CD Release Party was Somthing Special!

What an ourpouring of love and support I received at the friends and family release party for my new CD "Songs from the Heart-- featuring The Three Tenors...Boots Randolph, Ed Calle & Kirk Whalum. Last night's event was beyond what I dreamed. It was my honor to perform for the intimate gathering of 80 very special friends and supporters. Everyone loved the champagne toast and celebration cake featuring the cover of the CD! I so enjoyed visiting with everyone and the frenzy of CD signings and photos being snapped. It was a celebration to remember and I thank all those dear ones who were there to share in the special evening. --From the heart, Sylvia.

First CD release party in Key Biscayne!

Things have been going so well with our CD "Sylvia Bennett Songs from the Heart featuring The Three Tenors...Boots Randolph, Ed Calle & Kirk Whalum"  that I feel like partying!  Tonight will be a very special night for me. We're having the first CD release party in my hometown (of many years).. Key Biscayne, Florida. It's a special event with my family, friends and a select group of loyal fans. As I start traveling, there will certainly be more celebrations. But this will be a great kick off and I can't wait.  We'll have lots of pictures to share after the event.  --- from the heart,  Sylvia

Our website is praised

I keep hearing from people all over about how much they like our website. I am proud of it as I feel it really represents who I am. We wanted to make it stand out and make it user friendly. I believe it is both. We are continually updating it to keep it fresh and provide new and old fans with information requested. Our wesite designer, graphic artist extraordinaire Dean Iodice of Studio Six Creative (www.studiosix.ws) has taken us to a new level!   -- from the heart, Sylvia

Video project completed!

In the world today, it's not always enough to appeal just to listeners. you have to showcase yourself on video too. To answer that need, we have completed a video performance for "Songs from the Heart"!  I had the good fortune to work with the brilliant producer, Layne Batt of Time Capsule Films (www.timecapsulefilms.net). We did two segments. One is a narrative about the story behind the making of the CD and includes a sampler of songs. The other segment is a performance of some of the songs in their entirety from the CD. We are going to post the videos on our website and on YOUTUBE.  Smoothjazz.com will also feature a clip from the video. I'll let everyone know when the video is up on our site and youtube.  From the heart, Sylvia

So much excitement!

Our team has been pretty overwhelmed since the release of my latest CD "Songs from the Heart featuring the Three Tenors...Boots Randolph, Ed Calle & Kirk Whalum"!  We worked with two awesome professionals, Don Graham of Progressive Music Marketing and Jim Eigo of Jazz Promo Services and WOW are we enjoying the results!   The CD is playing on adult standard radio stations all over the country thanks to Don Graham's gret work and of course the good taste of radio programmers! Jim Eigo helped get our CD in the hands of movers and shakers in the jazz world and we received some amazing reviews.  We have so many great reviews now, our team has had to condense them and put just a few on our website. I am truly humbled by the phenonmenal response.  We also are loving working with Sandy Shore of www.Smoothjazz.com which is a wonderful experience and is helping spread awareness.  From the heart -- Sylvia
