Oh, My Nola

0301_connicknola.jpg Harry Connick Jr. is back at it again. He's returning to his New Orleans roots with this new album, "Oh, My Nola." One of my brothers turned me on to this, and now I'm dancing to it in my kitchen just about every night. It's great cooking music. I'm no music critic, but I'd describe this as a true New Orleans gumbo. It's got a little of everything in it. There's a little cajun, a lotta swing, some second-line marching music, a dash of jazz, a pinch of gospel and big band the way only Harry can do it. He also released a companion CD "Chanson du Vieux Carre" (Song of the French Quarter). I hear its more instrumental, but I can't tell you anything about it because I haven't listened to it, yet. Here's Connick's site.
