As a Sinatra-molded swinger, Harry Connick, Jr. may have had some of his thunder stolen by young star Michael Buble. But with his raved-about performance on Broadway in Pajama Game and his continuing development as a jazz pianist, he's doing quite nicely, thank you. Chanson du Vieux Carre is one of two new simultaneously released big band tributes to his hometown of New Orleans by him. Released on Marsalis Music, it is a largely instrumental big band session divided between originals and classics that shows off his writing and arranging skills while featuring his longtime trumpeter Leroy Jones and trombonist Lucien Barbarin on incidental vocals. (Connick is in full vocal mode on Oh, My Nola, released by his longtime "A" label, Columbia.) Though his surprisingly few turns at the piano are mostly Basie-like in their edgy economy, his coloristic, sectional approach on tunes such as his own "Luscious" and Hoagy Carmichael's "New Orleans" evokes Duke Ellington. Named for the storied old section of the French Quarter, the album takes a few songs to get going, but once it does, it has plenty of spark and swagger--and heart. The ghostlike background voicings on Sidney Bechet's "Petite Fleur" seem to embody spirits of New Orleans past while it's always great to hear Connick honor his onetime mentor, Professor Longhair, on Longhair's bumptious "Mardis Gras in New Orleans." --Lloyd Sachs

Album Description

For Harry Connick, Jr. and the members of his big band, New Orleans has always been a constant state of mind. Connick's hometown, the birthplace of so much of America's musical culture, defines all of his performances, but never more so than on Chanson du Vieux CarrÃƒÂ©, the third disc in the Marsalis Music label's Connick on Piano series. The album was conceived and executed in May 2003, well before Hurricane Katrina, and showcases Connick's talents as a pianist, arranger of favorite New Orleans classics, and composer of three titles in debut performances. While Connick does not sing on the recording, key band members Lucien Barbarin (trombone) and Leroy Jones (trumpet) do. Chanson du Vieux CarrÃƒÂ© is a Crescent City love letter, composed two years before the deluge yet never timelier. The album will be released on January 30, 2007, the same day Columbia Records issues Connick's vocal tribute Oh, My NOLA. A portion of Connick's royalties from both discs will benefit New Orleans Habitat Musicians' Village.

Customer Reviews:

Great Jazz.......2007-06-30

Another great album in the Connick series. This one is more upbeat than Other Hours and alomost as good. If you don't have Other Hours, get that one too.

Great Stuff.......2007-05-13

No vocals from Harry, but it's great to hear his band at the forefront. Very unique and interesting arranging.

Harry Connick, Jr.- Chanson du Vieux Carre.......2007-05-02

I have mixed feelings about Harry Connick, Jr. The jazz lover in me often pleads with other aficionado's to not shoot the innovative piano player, but please off the reckless crooner Connick can be.

Fortunately, Connick sticks to the ivories in his more lucid moments and on his latest effort, Chanson du Vieux Carre', he makes his grand piano perform wondrous magic along with his sensational big band.

Chanson du Vieux Carre' is a tribute to New Orleans and the cross cultural hybrid of blues, old time spirituals, and honky-tonk that earned the moniker of New Orleans jazz. Connick and his band rip several pages from past giants such as Louis Armstrong and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band to make Chanson, however, this doesn't diminish the amazing power and overflowing spirit that lifts Chanson du Vieux Carre' to masterpiece status.

Like many of Connick's past big band efforts, he is nearly imperceptible, working as a small piece of an ensemble musical landscape. The band features some incredible players, including regular Arthur Latin on drums, Dave Schumacher on baritone saxophone, Mark Mullins, Craig Klein, John Allred, and the incomparable Lucien Barbarin on trombones, Jerry Weldon and Mike Karn on tenor sax, and the steady backbeat of Neil Caine's standup bass. Together, they navigate the salty waters of standards like Armstrong's "Someday You'll Be Sorry", Sidney Bechet's "Petite Fleur", Hoagy Carmichael's "New Orleans", and Sammy Cahn's "I Still Get Jealous"; plus about half dozen of Connick's original compositions. Each song is arranged brilliantly, making the most of the steamy sensuality of Crescent City jazz.

It's hard to know where not to recommend this album, but standout performances include Barbarin's vocal and solo trombone tracks on Connick original "Luscious", the unexpected horn blasts on "Someday You'll be Sorry", and the jump up and shout enthusiasm of the final track "Mardi Gras in New Orleans". The entire album succeeds in weaving a voodoo spell that will have jazz fans grooving zombie-like under its myriad charms.

Connick himself finds a groove too, and is smart not to hog the show with his solo work. When he does solo, it's simple and non-obtrusive, showing a great loyalty to the sound that has captivated him since childhood.

If all of that's not enough to convince you to buy this album, then you should also know that the profit from this album will go to building an old musicians home in the lower Ninth Ward of New Orleans, and to help with the reconstruction of the area in general.

So as much as I'd like to see Harry Connick the singer laid to rest, the pianist has made a huge contribution to jazz preservation with Chanson du Vieux Carre'. In so doing, he has earned his place among the legends of the musical form, and for the heart that has driven him to make this album.

See What Happens.......2007-04-19

It's been rumored that reviewers in these parts can get away with making passing references to *other* titles that cross their minds while enjoying the release at hand. Proof of that can be seen elsewhere on this very page, and it's a great thing. Here's the kicker - go so far as to actually "insert a product link" and your review will be deemed subversive, doomed to censorship at best, and probably completely annihilated by the time you come around to looking at it again. So here goes nothing...

"Chanson du Vieux Carré" is a wonderful collection of Crescent City big-band charts by Mr. Connick, Jr. and company. Having nothing to do with Katrina as the sessions themselves date back to 2003, you can nevertheless feel the teamwork and dedication put forth by players who respect each other and love the music they are making. Turns out that having this disc handy provides one with the perfect tonic for a fine gin like Tom Sancton's 2006 account "Song For My Father: A New Orleans Story in Black and White" (Other Press). Later we'll add a product link here and see if the whole review dies.

How about one more? Fans of Harry Connick, Jr. the pianist and composer can also be abundantly rewarded for their time and effort by another of his instrumental albums from yesteryear, "Lofty's Roach Soufflé", a trio outing on Columbia made in 1990 that reveals the not-so-subtle impact of Thelonious Monk on Connick's music-making. It's lots of fun, as is "Chanson". Both come highly recommended. Now watch - soon as we add a link for LRS this thing is DOA.

Sweet New Orleans jazz.......2007-04-18

"Chanson Du Vieux Carre" is wonderful, traditional New Orleans jazz. Classic pieces written by jazz greats like Louis Armstrong and Hoagy Carmichael are inter-mingled with Connick compositions that not only pay homage but sound right at home next to the old favorites. This was recorded in 2003, according to Connick's liner notes, during the same studio sessions in which he and his band recorded "Harry for the Holidays," and "Only You." For the most part, this album is without vocals, with notable exceptions on "Someday You'll Be Sorry," "Luscious" (sung by trombone-player extraordinaire Lucien Barbarin), and "Bourbon Street Parade," which showcases trumpet-player Leroy Jones. The haunting Connick title composition was previously released on the album "Occasion," a piano/saxophone pairing with Branford Marsalis. If you're looking for songs you can sing along with, don't miss "Oh My Nola," the Connick album released on the same day as this one.
