Harry Connick Jnr returns to the easy listening musical fold with his new cd ‘Only You’.
It’s pleasing to see Harry Connick returning to what he does best, which is him and a piano and a stunning Sinatra-esque voice crooning through classic tunes in his inimitable charming way.

HARRY’S BACK! And doing what he does best…………………….
Harry Connick Jnr returns to the easy listening musical fold with his new cd ‘Only You’.
It’s pleasing to see Harry Connick returning to what he does best, which is him and a piano and a stunning Sinatra-esque voice crooning through classic tunes in his inimitable charming way.
Harry Connick Jnr has often swayed from his big band, crooning style on some of his latter albums and it’s good to hear these fine simple arrangements tunefully stating a return to his roots.
If you enjoy the young pretenders such as Jamie Cullum and alike then you will not be disappointed with this rework of some fine classics done by an exceptional talent.
Sit back, relax and close your eyes……………………….baby.

I purchased it from Amazon.co.uk for £8.99 or you can get it for £9.99 from Woolworths.
As I said I am a Harry Connick Jnr fan so I would rate this the best album in the charts at the moment - but that doesn't mean it is!
If you like this sort of music it is well worth buying and would make a great gift. ...

Album Notes
Personnel: Harry Connick, Jr. (vocals, conductor, piano); James Greene, Charles Goold (alto saxophone); Jerry Weldon, Mike Karn (tenor saxophone); Dave Schumacher (baritone saxophone); Roger Ingram, Derrick Gardner, Leroy Jones, Joe Magnarelli (trumpet); Mark Mullins, Joe Barati, Craig Klein, John Allred (trombone); Neal Caine (bass); Arthur latin II (drums); Paulinho Da Costa, Alex Acuna (percussion). Recorded at Capitol Studios, Hollywood, California in 2003. In the liner notes of ONLY YOU, crooner Harry Connick tells how the impetus for the album was Columbia honcho Donny Ienner's request for the singer to record some songs from Ienner's youth (1950s/'60s hits). Whether this was an entreaty or an ultimatum, Connick sagely turned it to his advantage, inching up a decade or two from his usual selection process and cherry-picking some of the finest tunes from that era (even if a couple were originally written decades earlier). Connick breaks some new stylistic ground too, dipping into the country songbook ("You Don't Know Me") and even slipping into doo-wop territory ("I Only Have Eyes for You" and the title track"). The most impressive thing about ONLY YOU is that instead of twisting himself into a stylistic pretzel in order to accommodate these varied modes, Connick artfully reinvents these tunes (not only as vocalist, but as arranger/conductor) to suit his own Sinatra-influenced pop/jazz style. His treatment of the aforementioned "I Only Have Eyes for You," for example, brings out the inherent spectral qualities of the song, turning it into an ethereal tour de force for his moody arrangement and cool vocal. Throughout the album, Connick manages to turn such tricks consistently, proving himself an able interpreter of more than one chapter in the Great American Songbook.
