HARRY CONNICK, Jr., multi-talented pianist/singer/composer/arranger/actor, returns with his orchestra to The Morris! Fans can expect to hear all of their favorite songs along with music from his latest record. CONNICK has taken a very hands-on approach to his recording career over the last two decades. He has called the shots at the numerous phases of his album projects – writing original material or picking songs, choosing the ensemble settings and writing arrangements, singing and playing piano.

Whether performing the American Songbook or in the jazz, blues or funk idiom, the process has yielded consistent success, not to mention worldwide sales of over 25 million discs. On his newest collection, “Your Songs,” CONNICK expands his vision to encompass 14 classic popular songs; his instrumental pallet through a striking integration of a string orchestra and his swinging Big Band; and his basic approach to recording. The songs include some of the best known work of singer/songwriters Billy Joel (“Just the Way You Are”), Lennon-McCartney (“And I Love Her”) and Elton John (“Your Song”), as well as classics made immortal by the likes of Nat Cole (“Mona Lisa”), Frank Sinatra (“All the Way”) and Elvis Presley (“Can’t Help Falling in Love with You”). “Bésame Mucho,” sung in both Spanish and English, is a long-time favorite of his father, while “Some Enchanted Evening” was included after CONNICK heard it performed in the current revival of “South Pacific.”
