 Rating: - Great New Orleans musicIt's great to hear Harry back to his roots and doing his thing with the band - and what a great band too! Rating: - Another winner for HCJI am a huge fan of HCJ and will be going to see the show that promotes this cd. At first I wasn't sure but now having listened carefully to this album a number of times I am coming around to the opinion that it stands with any that Mr Connick has produced. Originally I let the fact that a number of the songs were old "warhorses" influence me but the more I listen to these arrangements, especially as far as the orchestra are concerned the more I am won over, although my favourites are a couple of new songs that he has penned, especially We Make a Lot of Love. All in all a really good album. Rating: - A brilliant tribute album to New Orleans.I purchased this album whilst on holiday in Canada back at the end of June. Over there the album was called 'Oh, my Nola'. Over here it's called 'My New Orleans'. It's basically the same album except it's named differently. The music styles featured on here go from traditional jazz to cuban, R&B, the big band sound, a bit of soul added in as well. There are terrific arrangements given to the standards featured on here and Harry Connick Jr breathes new life into them.

The sixteen songs on this album are either about, or from, New Orleans. He uses many of the city's musical styles, jazz, gospel, cajun, R&B, country and brass bands to make what is his most eclectic album yet. Even so, his swing and jazz funk styles together with his stride piano are always in evidence. There are four Connick originals on the album and the other twelve are popular standards that have been re-worked by Connick in unfamiliar styles. Hank Williams' "Jambalaya" is given a New Orleans big band treatment with much brass ... Read More: Rating: - !I heard this album for the first time on a flight and it completely blew me away. I ordered it as soon as I was within reach of a computer. I listened to a lot of jazz and "big band" when I was young and this took me right back to seeing some of the greats. It is the best album I've heard this year of any genre, and extremely exciting to listen to... very frustrating if you are in the confines of an economy seat! |
