that was a great song wen he played it in mawazine festival in rabat last year , i really feel like attending mawazine again this year ; god bless morocco
Harry is SO incredibly talented ! I *hate* to see how he's had to sell out to make money from the musically-ignorant American public. Covering "All of me" and "And I Love Her"... Gads. That's SO beneath him... But, it makes money. *sigh*
@JoshuaTaylor Exactly!! Too bad isn't it??? I just watched a great video about his life with Brandford and such and I love what Brandford has to say about Harry singing haha.
The man is a monster musician, I LOVE his orchestrations and his musicianship.
When Harry C. Jr. was a child, he met Ellis Marsalis and later studied under him. Harry said the following, " Ellis-in very subtle ways-is a very stern taskmaster...The work ethic and the fear that he puts into you-and it's literally fear-to be the very best that you can be sticks with you. That's why I write as much as I write and work as hard as I work. I couldn't go to sleep at night saying, you know what, I didn't do as well as I could do today... Ellis prepared me to play with the pros..."
Time may show us that Harry Connick Jr was the greatest entertainer of our era. Musician, vocalist, actor, hell he is even a good dancer........plus a gorgeous wife and beautiful and talented daughters....I think I hate him....haha....great great great is all I can say
Ellis Marsalis is THE piano man, his sons are some of the greatest trumpet and saxophone players and Harry himself is an incredibly accomplished musician, have you heard his own arrangements with his big band?? it's to die for
amazing. You could see Harry starting to struggle a bit when his competitive side kicked in. There are very few people who can even line up with harry, let alone out play him. And Ellis isn't the youngest man
no. He didn't know anything about me. We lived WAY out in the country in Mississippi.
Harry's dad was the district attorney for the city of new orleans if I'm not mistaken. ellis knew him from a tyke. Ellis is amazing; the kids rock and Harry has the same magic. plus they practiced a LOT.
i loved this.
