The result is TO SEE YOU, a collection of ten expertly-crafted love songs recorded with Harry's quartet and full orchestra. The smooth, unmistakable Connick voice combines with the quartet's relaxed performance and the lush orchestral background--arranged, orchestrated, and conducted by Harry--making TO SEE YOU an eminently listenable affair.The ten songs on TO SEE YOU--all penned by Harry--are of a calibre rarely encountered today and hearken back to the golden age of American popular song. The band interprets each tune with a high degree of expressiveness. Of particular note is the interplay between Connick's subtle piano work and Charles Goold's soulful, breathy saxophone.

Editorial Reviews
Connick shows unusual restraint on this original set, cooking his voice to a cocktail croon and downplaying his piano for sinewy bass, muted trumpet, and cascading strings. The smoky arrangements shimmer like a freshly poured cosmopolitan, and the romantic sentiment never comes off as corny or forced... - Rating: B+
