Key Biscayne, May 14, 2020 (Issuewire.com) - In 2019, Sylvia Bennett and long-time producer and writing partner, Hal S. Batt began working on a new CD project, This Love is Real, due out in July 2020. As they were discussing what songs to record, Batt's son Jacob, suggested that "Lorilee" would be a perfect song for Sylvia.  "Lorilee" was written and recorded by American singer-songwriter, musician and producer, frontman and co-lead singer of the group Bread, David Gates. His most popular songs include: "Baby I'm-A Want You," "If," "It Don't Matter to Me," "The Guitar Man," and "Goodbye Girl."  Soon after, they teamed up with Cuban American jazz trumpeter, pianist and composer, Arturo Sandoval.  Sandoval is a 10-time Grammy Award winner, Emmy Award recipient and six-time Billboard Award winner.  His most recent accomplishment is composing the musical score for Clint Eastwood's latest two films: The Mule and Richard Jewell. Producer Hal S. Batt combines Arturo Sandoval's trumpet, David Gate's song, and the sultry vocals of Sylvia Bennett into a blockbuster new arrangement of "Lorilee."

Italian born and American raised Sylvia Bennett is a Grammy-nominated international recording artist and songwriter who has performed at Presidential Inaugurations and opened for such renowned artists as Bob Hope, Phyllis Diller, Jackie Mason, Dizzy Gillespie, Barry Gibb and David Brenner.  Discovered by the legendary Lionel Hampton, she has since captivated audiences and critics alike with her sultry, honeyed tones and seductive blend of jazz and pop. She's the inimitable, unforgettable Sylvia Bennett.

Sylvia and Lionel Hampton's first recording project was the Grammy-nominated Sentimental Journey. A second project, There Will Never Be Another You, was a CD/DVD tribute she dedicated to her beloved mentor and would be followed by eight more CDs: Songs From the Heart (featuring Boots Randolph, Ed Calle, and Kirk Whalum), It's Christmas Time, Smile, Sonríe, C'est Si Bon, Best Love Songs, It's All About Love, For You and I Wish You Love.   It's All About Love, Sylvia's first CD of all original music, reached #24 on the 2016 SmoothJazz.com Year End Top 50 Album Chart. In 2017, her holiday single, "Baby It's Cold Outside" featuring Paul Brown reached #39 in the AC Mediabase - Published Panel.
