Growing up in New Orleans, Harry Connick, Jr.,
studied piano with keyboard legends James Booker and Ellis Marsalis. A
performer from the age of five who made his first jazz album at age
ten, he moved to New York at age 18 and quickly made his Columbia
Records debut at the head of a jazz trio. His next effort, "20," added
his vocals to the mix, and his singing was also featured on his first
big-band album, the multi-platinum "When
Harry Met Sally."
 In
the '90s, the full scope of Connick's artistry emerged. His albums
featured original instrumental and vocal music ("Lofty's
Roach Soufflé" and "We are in Love,"
respectively), explored funk ("She"
and "Star Turtle") and romantic
balladry ("To See You"), and then
pulled all of these strands together in the decade-ending tour de
force "Come by Me." More recent years have seen further
triumphs, including his Grammy-winning reflection on favorite music of
his youth, "Songs I Heard," and his jazz quartet triumph "Other
Hours." The first of a "Connick on Piano" series, released by
Marsalis Music, contains instrumental versions of the Tony-nominated
songs Connick composed for the Broadway musical "Thou
Shalt Not." "Harry for the
Holidays," also led to a successful television special of the
same name broadcast by NBC on Thanksgiving night, and a hugely
successful US tour in November and December of 2003.
 At the same time, Harry Connick, Jr., the actor, has made a
major impact in theatrical films and on television. His Hollywood
credits include "Memphis Belle," "Hope
Floats" and "Independence Day,"
while his small-screen triumphs include the ABC production of "South
Pacific" and his recurring role on NBC's "Will
& Grace."
All of these achievements – not to mention his album sales of more
than 20 million, his three Grammy awards and his nominations for Tony,
Emmy, Oscar, Golden Globe and Cable Ace Awards – reflect a creative
energy that makes Harry Connick, Jr. unique in the world of
contemporary entertainment.
Hits include: "Hear Me In The Harmony",
"(I Could Only) Whisper Your Name",
"The Happy Elf", "One Fine Thing",
"When My Heart Finds Christmas",
"It's The Most Wonderful Time of The Year",
"Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!",
"The Christmas Waltz".
