This is a great album and Harry Connick, jr. is a master singer and songwriter. And arranger. Buy this album. You'll love it. It's just what you need to get into the holiday spirit.
Great album, a must have for Christmas November 16, 2008

"What a Night!" is a great album. Harry really kicks up these classic songs- you'll find yourself tapping your foot and enjoying the awesome rhythm and tight syncopated beats. Similar to the first album, there is not a single song on here that I don't like. I listen to Harry Connick Jr. every year for Christmas, and this album will get a lot of play time.

This is a beautiful record, musically as well as sonically, not to mention that when Harry swings, he SWINGS his butt off. Check out Jingle Bells! I haven't heard swing as hard driving as that since Basie. This CD is so rich in so many ways. It's one of the best recordings I've heard in a long time -- It's definitely on par or might be even better than Harry's last CD, "Oh My Nola" which is hard to top (check that one out if you haven't already!), kudos to the engineer and producer. The arrangements are stunning -- some of Harry's best writing to date. His playing has matured. It is much more sparse, but he says more with fewer notes. Wonderful choice of classics and new originals. I've heard talk of some interesting bonus tracks... I'll have to search those out. Great work HCJ! Keep the music coming!

Harry Connick Jr. knows how to bring the Christmas spirit and he really delivers once again with his 3rd Christmas album "What A Night!".
Harry adds his own flavor to many of the Christmas classics and he has also given us 4 brand new songs that he wrote himself.
My favorite song on the record is "Winter Wonderland" where he does a duet with his 11 year old daughter Kate. There is playful banter in the song and they each sing several verses in their own unique style. Kate has a magnificent voice and looks to have a bright future ahead herself.
His new song, "What A Night!" is brilliant. Very catchy tune that you will be singing in your head long after the album is through playing.
Other favorites include "It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Year", "Holly Jolly Christmas", "Dance of the Sugarplum Fairies", "It's Beginning to Look a lot like Christmas", "Santarrific", "Zat You Santa Claus", "Jingle Bells", "We Three Kings"
All in all, this cd is splendid and will make you want to grab a hot cup of cocoa, sit by the fire, and be filled with Christmas spirit and love for the season.
Thanks once again Harry!!!
 Pretty good cd November 10, 2008
