What a Night! A Christmas Album [B&N Exclusive Version]

All Music Guide - Matt Collar
His third holiday-themed album, 2008's What a Night! A Christmas Album continues vocalist/pianist Harry Connick, Jr.'s tradition of delivering swinging jazz and pop versions of various tinsel tunes new and old. Recorded with a big band and orchestra, this is a terrific collection of songs making the most of Connick's knack for modern-day crooning and rambunctious small-group jazz. There is warmth, sophistication, and urbane romanticism to Connick's work here that should draw well-earned comparisons to similar classic albums by the likes of Tony Bennett, Mel Tormé, Nat King Cole, and others. However, rather than sounding like a retro affair, What a Night! delivers on ...

Recorded with a big band and orchestra, this is a terrific collection of songs making the most of Connick's knack for modern-day crooning and rambunctious small-group jazz. There is warmth, sophistication, and urbane romanticism to Connick's work here that should draw well-earned comparisons to similar classic albums by the likes of Tony Bennett, Mel Tormé, Nat King Cole, and others. However, rather than sounding like a retro affair, What a Night! delivers on Connick's promise of updating the traditional pop sound of his idols for a contemporary audience. It doesn't hurt, either, that Connick is joined here by a bevy of first-rate musicians, including vocalist Kim Burrell and trombonist/vocalist Lucien Barbarin on two duets, not to mention the stellar backing musicians. Even Kate Connick, Harry's daughter, makes an appearance for a charming duet with her dad on "Winter Wonderland." It's also refreshing to hear a few rambling small-group jazz numbers like "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies," which help remind listeners how nimble and inventive a jazz pianist Connick truly is. More than just a great Christmas album, What a Night! is the type of record you just might find yourself turning to well into the new year. [The Barnes & Noble Exclusive Edition includes three bonus tracks, "Christmas Time Is Here," "Deck the Halls," and "Oh Christmas Tree."]

    What a Great Album!

    This is one of the best Christmas albums I have listened to in a long time. I've been listening to this one for the past three days every time I get in my car. Even the new original tracks feel like they've been around for ages. I especially enjoyed the duet with his daughter; she has an incredible little voice! If you know anyone who enojoys Christmas music and loves jazz, this is the album to choose. Happy listening!

    More instrumental than voice

    The music was all over the place and was not enjoyable to listen to. I gave mine away.

    Christmas Spirit

    Disappointed

    I LOVED Harry Connick Jr's other Christmas cd, and was so excited to purchase this one. I am so disappointed! I like only 1 song, the one with his daughter (and I liked her part better than his!). I'm not exactly sure what it is I don't like, except the whole thing. This is NOT like his other CD! I would recommend Holiday Spirits by Straight No Chaser. For some reason I bought the CD from Barnes & Noble and now they don't show it?!
