“Antonia’s got the gift.  She has good time.  She sings in tune.  She has a good spontaneous feeling for phrasing.  And that is something that you either got it or you haven’t got it.  There’s no way that you can teach that to somebody.  If you got it, you got it, and Antonia’s got it.” — TONY BENNETT

(Antonia Bennett)…..”conjured echoes of Billie Holiday and Rickie Lee Jones, with a hint of Betty Boop!” – The New York Times.

JAZZIZ Nightlife welcomes Antonia Bennett, daughter of legendary singer Tony Bennett, to our stage n celebration of the release of her debut CD EMBRACE ME .  Ms Bennett has been performing alongside her father since she could walk and talk.  Some of her early performances were  shared with legendary American icons such as Rosemary Clooney, Count Basie, Regis Philbin, Don Rickles, and growing up with the likes of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Gene Kelly.  It was inevitable that she would inherit a genuine passion for the arts.

For the past ten years she has what she considers the distinct honor of opening for her father performing all over the world and can be heard in a duet with her Dad on Tony Bennett’s “I’ve Got My Love To Keep Me Warm,” from his A Swingin Christmas recording. She continues to develop her craft while performing at a myriad of venues from prominent jazz clubs, casinos, amphitheaters and stadiums including Radio City Music Hall, the Hollywood Bowl, Royal Albert Hall in London and Caesars Palace.

EMBRACE ME, produced by Holly Knight is dedicated to the great American songbook including “Embraceable You” and “The Man I Love,” performed in an intimate classic trio format.  Enjoy the vocal prowess of this unique singer of great distinction, who endeavors to cultivate new musical horizons.
