Album Notes
Personnel: Harry Connick, Jr. (vocals, piano, organ); Johnny Adams (vocals); Ned Goold (tenor saxophone); Ellis Marsalis (piano); Ray Brown (acoustic bass).Recorded at BMG Studio A, New York, New York in October 1992. Includes liner notes by Tracey Freeman and Harry Connick, Jr.Personnel: Harry Connick, Jr. (vocals, piano, organ); Johnny Adams (vocals); Ned Goold (tenor saxophone); Ellis Marsalis (piano).Audio Mixer: Gregg Rubin.Liner Note Author: Tracey Freeman.Recording information: BMG Studio A, New York, NY (10/02/1992-10/09/1992); BMG Studio, New York, NY (10/02/1992-10/09/1992).Photographer: Herb Ritts.This 1992 CD is a throwback to Harry Connick’s earlier sets for it mostly features the pianist-vocalist on a solo set of standards. Ellis Marsalis drops by to back Connick’s vocal on “Stardust,” Connick accompanies Johnny Adams’ singing on “Lazybones,” and “On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe” is a trio outing with tenor saxophonist Ned Goold and bassist Ray Brown. Otherwise it is all Connick and he sounds in good form on such tunes as “Music, Maestro, Please,” “On the Street Where You Live,” “After You’ve Gone” and “Muskrat Ramble.” It is a pity that Connick has not continued in this direction. ~ Scott Yanow
