HARRY CONNICK JR

DISCOGRAPHY


The foundation of Harry’s art is the music of his native New Orleans, where he began performing as a pianist and vocalist at the age of five. He was schooled by two of the city’s keyboard legends – James Booker, who allowed a pre-teen Harry to sit at his elbow in local clubs, and Ellis Marsalis, who provided more structured instruction during Harry’s teenage years. When Harry left for New York at age 18, he was equipped with a precocious command of jazz and popular music styles. He has recorded 32 studio albums which include several multi-platinum albums (When Harry Met Sally, Blue Light, Red Light, When My Heart Finds Christmas, Come By Me, and Only You.)

Recently, Connick released the album True Love: A Celebration of Cole Porter in 2019 that coincided with performances on Broadway of Harry Connick, Jr.- A Celebration of Cole Porter honoring the musical achievements of one of America’s most respected songwriters, Cole Porter. He conceived, arranged, orchestrated and directed the show accompanied by a 25-piece orchestra and spectacular multimedia elements. In 2020 as the country entered the pandemic lockdown, Connick retreated to his home studio and emerged with an album of songs of faith and inspiration. Alone With My Faith, released during the spring of 2021, displays the sheer breadth of Connick’s talents as he wrote new songs, arranged all songs, played every instrument, and sang every voice. Alone With My Faith earned Connick his 16th career Grammy nomination for Best Roots Gospel Album. Returning to the studio in 2022, Harry recorded and released a brand-new holiday album, Make It Merry, exclusively on Apple Music. The 12-track album, which marked his fourth holiday album, features Harry’s definitive take on Christmas classics as well as newly recorded versions of his own originals and fan favorites like “(It Must’ve Been Ol’) Santa Claus” and “When My Heart Finds Christmas alongside two brand-new, original songs “Make It Merry” and “On This Christmas Morning.”
