What Others Say
Love It!
As always, Harry Connick Jr. delivers. I loved this cd and I would probably be tempted to listen to it even after the holidays are long gone. :)
We're just wild about Harry!
Yet another example of why Harry Connick, Jr. is a great musician. We get most of his albums, and they never disappoint!
Jazzy renditions of classic Christmas tunes....
A nice change of pace from typical Christmas albums... different arrangements, tracks that sound looser and more improvised instead of stiffly-practiced and performed, relaxed and upbeat at the same time.
While I don't love every track on this disc, I do enjoy most of them, and that's about what I expect with any album.
Nicely done and refreshing.
What A Night! A Christmas Album
Harry Connick Jr. provides his own style to some Christmas classics. It may not be your ultimate selection or the style you were expecting, but it is his unmistakable voice with a cool and relaxed feel.
What A Disappointment!
I love Harry Connick, Jr.'s work, and I have several of his CDs including his last Christmas collection which I pull out first when the holiday season arrives. I was anxious to buy "What A Night!...." and then disappointed when I listened the first time. To me it is a little dull and not nearly as much fun as his other great music.
