HARRY CONNICK Jr. Malaga Jazz Festival, TVSpain

Harry Connick Jr born in New Orleans, USA, 1967 is a singer, pianist, composer and arranger. The style and repertoire of this student of Ellis Marsalis is closest to Jazz, through Swing and popular North American songs. He's a modern-day crooner with a baritone register that some, because of his artistic leanings, associate with Frank Sinatra, but which in terms of style and timbre is actually more similar to Tony Bennett or Mel Torme. Connick's career began with two albums which were heavily influenced by jazz and later tended towards a more "popular" style. As well as his extraordinary charisma, talent on the piano and remarkable voice, Connick's work as an actor has made him a veritable sex symbol, sought after by both Broadway and Hollywood. He's starred in films such as Hope Floats, Independence Day... and he's currently negotiating a role alongside Renée Zellweger in Chillen in Miami. After Chanson du vieux carre (06), with his Big Band, an album of songs associated with Crescent City and a new take on the great hits that evoke New Orleans, he's released Oh! My Nola (07), which fuses rock&roll, country, blues and ragtime melodies. The malaga concert is featuring: HARRY CONNICK, Jr. -- piano y voz, NED GOOLD -- saxo alto, JERRY WELDON -- saxo tenor, DAVE SCHUMACHER -- saxo barítono, ROGER INGRAM -- trompeta, IRV QUARTMAN -- trompeta, MARK BRAUD -- trompeta, JEFF BUSH -- trombón DION TUCKER -- trombón, JOE BARATI -- trombón bajo, NEAL CAINE -- bajo, ARTHUR LATIN -- batería, LUCIEN BARBARIN -- trombón y percusión.
