When Harry Met Sally... [Music from the Motion Picture] in Bloomington, MN

Harry Connick, Jr.
's vocals perfectly fit the moods throughout the 1989
Billy Crystal
film
When Harry Met Sally
. This
soundtrack
album (which stands apart from the movie) was a big hit and a major step forward for the young pianist-vocalist, although it appears to have been the high point of his career.
Connick
warmly sings such numbers as
"It Had to Be You,"
"Our Love Is Here to Stay,"
"But Not for Me,"
and
"Let's Call the Whole Thing Off,"
while usually accompanied by bassist
Benjamin Wolfe
, drummer
Jeff "Tain" Watts
, and a
big band
.
Frank Wess
' warm tenor makes a brief appearance on
"Our Love Is Here to Stay."
In addition, there are a few melodic instrumentals, including some solo
piano on
"Winter Wonderland"
"Autumn in New York."
Highly recommended. ~ Scott Yanow
