Sy Smith's voice is brilliant, sensational, and breathtaking. No one can compare with her interpretation for this song "The look of Love", especially at the very beginning. I heard it on PBS in 2011. In 2024, I am still overwhelmed by it.

The chemistry between Sy and Chris is priceless. Chris looks like he's well pleased with her performance. The band is slamming!

Me and my brother took our mother to see Chris Botti and Sy Smith at The Mohegan Sun many years ago. Both were cordial after the show was over and they had a meet and greet. I have to find the photos of my mom with Chris Botti and Sy Smith. I was raised to appreciate good music and both put on a really great show.

Chris Botty, a person who knows when to perform and doesn't show off himself ... great collaboration

Oh my.....what a beautiful song....they turned this classic into a sexy, jazzy and upbeat tune. Love it. Sy is SO GORGEOUS. Love the drummer, guitarist too......pure talent. I saw them in concert twice and it's even better live........

Hope to see you soon and very soon back in Cleveland, Ohio!
