If you are a Harry Connick, Jr. fan, you will love this concert performance which was filmed in 1992 when he was a young lad of only 25, but with the stage presence of an old hand. The concert goes back to the old school of performance - the big bold brass, the personalities of the trumpet player and drummer, the chatting and charming of the audience, and a more intimate style of concert.

The New York City Band Concert features Harry performing with his Big Band during his record-breaking 15-night engagement at the Paramount Theatre in New York city in 1992. Songs performed include Sweet Georgia Brown, Don't Get Around Much Anymore, Recipe for Love, Bare Necessities, They Can't Take That Away from Me, You Didn't Know Me, When He Is They Are, With Imagination,  We Are in Love, It Had to Be You, Just Kiss Me, All of Me, Paramount Fanfare. (1993)

Throughout the concert of 13 songs, we are held in suspense by a dazzling swing, an extra voice, a terrifying Big-Band banging it in an out and out one hour of powerhouse concert of some of his most well loved tunes.
