This ensemble will look specifically at one of the greatest New Orleans funk albums of all time, Harry Connick Jr’s. “She.” On this album, Harry explores a mind-boggling variety of styles, from funky rockin’ instrumentals to hushed ballads to esoteric recitations. Yet every song lies within the framework of his rootsy New Orleans style.
“She,” was cut in a converted New Orleans warehouse, utilizing strictly local musicians, some of whom Harry’s known his whole life. Players on the album include bassist George Porter, Jr., (an original member of the Meters,) guitarist Jonathan Dubose, drummer David Russell Batiste, Jr., Leroy Jones on trumpet, drummer Raymond Weber, trombonist Mark Mullins, bassist Tony Hall, Alonzo Bowels on sax, and the legendary Joseph “Zigaboo” Modeliste on drums. Harry played organ, piano, Fender Rhodes, and Clavinet in addition to handling the vocals.
If you’re in the market for one of the funkiest ensembles we’ve ever attempted, look no further; “She’s” the one!!!
