When My Heart Finds Christmas

Harry Connick, Jr.

A lush, big-band holiday essential. Connick's New Orleans piano and velvet baritone turn seasonal standards into cinematic, mid-century jazz celebrations.

October 26, 1993 · Columbia

A sophisticated blend of high-energy big band joy and hushed, reverent winter solitude.

Moments Worth Listening For
The transition from the playful New Orleans piano shuffle into the full brass explosion on Sleigh Ride.
The reverent, near-operatic gravity of Ave Maria that showcases a rare, disciplined vocal restraint.
The way the arrangement of O Holy Night builds from a whisper to a massive, gospel-inflected crescendo.
