The daughter of legendary jazz crooner, Tony Bennett, has established herself as a new jazz vocalist on the scene. She was trained as an actor at the Lee Strasberg Theater and Film Institute.  For her singing credentials, she attended Berklee College of Music. For fifteen years, Antonia was the opening act for her illustrious father’s shows, while building her repertoire.

Her initial recording was an EP called “Natural” (2010) followed by a full album of songs titled, “Embrace Me” released in 2014 where she covers many standard jazz tunes.

Next came “Until the End of Time” and in 2020 “Here For You.”  This album was clearly a lean towards pop and Alternative Adult music airplay.

This is Antonia’s fifth album release. She has contracted a Los Angeles based rhythm section.  On her latest album titled “Expressions” she continues to lean from jazz standards to an alternative adult music production on a tune called “Baby.”

Meantime, on this album she includes standard jazz tunes like “Comes Love,” the familiar “Exactly Like You” and the popular “Ain’t Misbehavin.’ ”  Sprinkled in between are tunes arranged more like pop tunes including Cole Porter’s “True Love” that was popular back in 1956 recorded by Bing Crosby and Grace Kelly.

I think Antonia Bennet’s voice could easily sweep into the Pop market.  With the right song, and more contemporary arrangements, Bennett could have a hit record and follow in her father’s illustrious gold-record-footsteps.
