From the scintillating opening bars of "Sweet Georgia Brown" to the humour and musicianship of the encore - this is simply one of the best big band concerts you will see.
Sure, he has been compared to Sinatra, Como et al, but this video is more than proof that this man is not only capable of holding his own, he is also capable of picking the finest musicians in the West and ramming the whole package down your throat in style!
Containing music from 2 or 3 of his Jazz albums, and a few more classics just to show off a little more, if you are a big band music lover you will finish watching this video and sit there feeling that you have just been in the auditorium. The delightful playing by some of the best (Leroy Jones, Dave Schumacher and my own hero, Roger Ingram) grabs you from minute 1.
The showmanship demonstrated by "Harry" throughout the show is astounding, as is his extraordinarily natural ability to play, entertain, and sing his heart out all at the same time.
Sit back, then, and enjoy watching a true genious at work. Be prepared, though, for complaints from the neighbours when you are forced to turn your TV up to full volume and dance all over the house.
A true joy.
