Reviews for Harry Connick, Jr.: The Christmas Special

Good Christmas music but Lackluster video production
This is probably one of the productions from Connick`s earlier years that he would probably just prefer to disappear into the video twilight zone. You can pass on purchasing this video unless you are a serious Harry Connick Jr fan..or in the mood for a good Christmas chuckle.

The musical concert performance is notable as Connick picks a nice selection of spiritual Christmas songs along with a few secular ones and swings out with his band and orchestra. The interspersed short acted skits however are very hokey and the younger Connick looks like a deer stunned with headlights in some parts. The video production is just generally bland and lackluster and just doesn`t add anything new or exciting to the holiday musical selections.

Even with guest stars Carol Burnett in small skit and a duet with Aaron Neville, this video falls short of what you would expect from a talented musician as Connick. This video just doesn`t seem to portray and express the enthusiasm, energy level and acting ability that Connick has appeared to develop over more recent years.

I highly recommend Connick`s audio CD "When My Heart Finds Christmas" but save this video production for the holiday archives.


Great Family Special
If you are a muscician or just love great music, then you will enjoy this Awesome performance. He has one of the best big bands backing him up, but that doesn`t take away from his amazing talents, he is spectacular! He also has some great guests on this special. Gather up the family of all ages and enjoy this great Christmas special.
Christmas Music at it`s best!
Harry really puts me in the Christmas spirit. He has such energy and presence. This is a must see Christmas video.

Reviews for Jazz Musician`s Christmas: The Tom Kubis Big Band

A Dream of a Big Band Christmas Album
A stunning collection of Christmas music put forth by some of the best jazz musicians on the west coast. Jazz wise it`s all here. From the opening bars of "Joy to the World" there are treats in store for all who would venture here. Listen to Tom Kubis` soprano saxophone sound and you will never play another Kenny G CD ever again! Wayne Bergeron on trumpet and Andy Martin on trombone are just a few of the noteworthy soloists among many who perform on this album. First rate ... Wonderful ..... Spectacular!!
