From Stuff.co.nz The impossibly young looking Harry Connick Jr performed to a full house in Auckland last night. Gail Selkirk went along. Harry Connick Jr Where: The Civic, Auckland When: Saturday March 13 The show started out in a quiet, almost bashful way with We Are in Love but in a very short time he had the audience enthralled. The show was a mixture of earlier tunes with a generous sprinkling from his latest CD Your Songs including Smile, All the Way, Besame Mucho and Mona Lisa. Connick clearly loves to interact with the audience. Since hitting town two days ago, he revealed that he and daughter Kate and fellow band member and friend Lucien Barbarin had thrown themselves off the Sky Tower. Something his wife Jill, who is back home in the US, was not pleased about. Kate came onstage briefly and told the audience that all her friends refer to her dad's songs as 'grandpa music'. Connick responded that she, and all of us, probably wanted to be down the road at the Lady Gaga show at Auckland's Vector Arena. But nobody wanted to be there, they had come to the Civic Theatre to see a master at his craft. Connick prides himself on tailoring his show for the audience, when someone requested he sing Hear Me in The Harmony he was only too happy to oblige. The audience knew their jazz and St James Infirmary and Muskrat Rumble were well received, as were the great solo pieces throughout the show by Lucien Barbarin, Jerry Weldon and Neal Caine. Nobody left the theatre wishing they had gone to see Lady Gaga instead. *Where you at the show? What did you think? Post your comments below.
