 Creative and Unique Funk - Best Harry Connick Album Yet! April 23, 2001
13 out of 13 found this review helpful
Harry Connick's "She" is the most creative example of funk music available...and it happens to be my favorite Harry Connick album (I have them all). It's also better than "Star Turtle", Connicks other attempt at funk, because of the interesting artists he collaborates with, including Booker T. The album is innovative, interesting, and some of the later tracks could be classified as experimental. However, if you like his more common Sinatra-style big band & swing tunes, stick with "Come by Me" or "To See You", and you may be disappointed with this.The first five songs are great - more traditional examples of funky jazz than the rest of the album. I especially enjoy "She" and "Between Us", two upbeat (non-experimental) jazz tunes. The only song on this album you're likely to hear on the radio is "Whisper Your Name", another upbeat signature-style tune which was featured in the absolutely horrible & disturbing 1991 movie "Hudson Hawk". But the genius in this album lies in the last 9 tracks, which were conscientiously arranged to flow together seamlessly. In this respect, it is similar to "Star Turtle", in which the songs follow a story line. However, these nine songs on "She", which represent the bulk of the album, play as if it were one long song/composition - unlike the "Star Turtle" & the first five songs of "She", these tracks do not quite sound right if listened to individually. These tracks are true experimental funk, interacting with unique instruments, poetry, sound effects, & dialogue. It takes nearly 45 minutes to hear them all together, but it's quite an experience, and I'm unaware of any other contemporary musician who arranges music this way. Other recent/similar attempts at interesting funk-jazz are the "Get Shorty" Soundtrack (primarily arranged by Booker T) and some of Moby's work, including the MobySongs album. "Star Turtle" by Connick is also a good album, but not as funky as "She".

While Harry Connick Jr. is generally know for his big band sound, I found this change to be a pleasant one. I am a huge fan of all of his work, this album included. By far, the best songs on the c.d. are "She", and "Whisper Your Name". This album has great songs, and shows Connick's versatility as a performer. I highly recommend this album to everyone, especially Connick lovers.

When I first listened to this CD I was disappointed because I was expecting the Big Band style music and I was tempted to return this CD but I read some of the reviews on Amazon and gave it a chance. After listening to it again I'm glad I didn't make the mistake of returning it. This is an excellent CD and it proves what a versatile musician Harry Connick Jr. is.

This is a CD I just can't live without. I've owned this album for the better part of the last decade and it has never ceased to sound fresh, funky, and fun. This is not big band Connick. This is well-done 70's funk-influenced rock-tinged music.
Great stuff from one of marvelous contemporary voices February 3, 2001

His stuff is always good, from the big band to his Christmas album which is a keeper. This one is different, subtle yet powerful once the songs play enough to get under your skin.A few, including title cut, and "To Love the Language" and "Here Comes the Big Parade" are indicative of the wide range of stuff that this guy and the great band that backs him can pull off with success.
