| | Harry Connick, Jr Chanson Du Vieux Carre CD Harry Connick, Jr Discography of CDs
Harry Connick Jr. has no shortage of musical credibility, not least because of his writing and arranging skills (which often take a backseat to his better-known skills as a singer and pianist). CHANSON DU VIEUX, a 2007 album that coincided with the release of OH, MY NOLA, takes on New Orleans through the lens of post-Hurricane Katrina trauma, yet, like its counterpart, is equal parts history lesson and joyous celebration. Connick doesn't sing here; instead he arranges a host of classic N'awlins gems (from the likes of Louis Armstrong, Sidney Bechet, and Professor Longhair) for big band, while adding tasteful accompaniment on piano. Exciting charts, superior musicianship, and a deep love of the Big Easy drive this fun release.
Personnel: Harry Connick, Jr. (piano); James Greene, Charles 'Ned' Goold (alto saxophone); Jerry Weldon, Mike Karn (tenor saxophone); David Schumacher (baritone saxophone); Derrick Gardner, Joe Magnarelli, Leroy Jones, Roger Ingram (trumpet); Craig Klein, John Allred, Lucien Barbarin, Mark Mullins (trombone); Joe Barati (bass trombone); Neal Caine (bass instrument); Arthur Latin (drums).
Down Beat (p.59) - "[Connick is] heard deep within the rhythms section....When he steps out, it's with a spare style that nudges rather than blows all over the groove..." Chanson Du Vieux Carre Music Harry Connick, Jr Chanson Du Vieux Carre Songs Chanson Du Vieux Carre Review

Pianist Carla Bley is the only returning member of the original LMO. As before, she proves to be a triple threat with her dexterous playing, intuitive conducting, and inventive arrangements. Haden, of course, anchors these tunes (which include his own eclectic title track and a soulful rendition of "Amazing Grace") with his formidable--though never flashy--bass work, allowing the other musicians, particularly guitarist Steve Cardenas and trombonist Curtis Fowlkes, to shine. This is big-band music that can shift with ease from avant-garde passages to swinging ...

| | Stanley Turrentine That's Where It's At CD (1962) Bonus Track; Remastered
Chanson Du Vieux Carre songs
$8.55
A Blue Note release with Les McCann on piano, Herbie Lewis on bass, and Otis Finch on drums. Small group format. Excellent (and exciting) soul-jazz session with Turrentine blowing hot. ~ Ron Wynn & Michael Erlewine
This 1962 session places tenor saxophonist Stanley Turrentine in the company of pianist Les McCann, bassist Herbie Lewis, and drummer Otis Finch. Of the six cuts on the original release, McCann, who was already in serious soul-jazz territory, wrote four. His meaty three- and four-chord figures are prominently placed and, as always, his sense of time and swing are everywhere. "Smile, Stacey" kicks it off in full blowing fare with Turrentine walking the line between soul-jazz and hard bop like a tightrope. His earthy tone is particularly muscular and quick here. His own blues ballad, "Soft Pedal Blues," follows, with Turrentine doing his best Ben Webster with slow, smoky breathy tones and McCann trilling across the top on the turnarounds. The slippery soul-blues of "Pia" is a shimmering little groover by McCann with him singing along with the lines in his solo. On his "We'll ...

Most listeners know of Keely Smith as Louis Prima's deadpan partner in crime on such Prima Vegas workouts as "Just a Gigolo" and "Jump, Jive & Wail." But Keely proved to have an appealing style all her own aside from the Prima show. Basically an unpretentious belter, she consistently demonstrated a winning, stick-to-the-melody approach to singing that was surprisingly musical. Currently, the only ...
