Description:

Jazz is the essence of super entertainer Harry Connick, Jr. Harry's piano, arrangements, orchestrations, and singing are all on display in this chic and romantic Cole Porter tribute. Harry has sold more than 30 million albums worldwide and has won three Grammy Awards, three Emmy Awards, and two Tony Award nominations, In a career spanning 32 years, this is the first Verve release in four years since "That Would be Me" was released in 2015. For the first time in his 32-year career, Harry has chosen Cole Porter for this project, which delves deeply into a single artist (or writer). Cole Porter was the No. 1 choice. His lyrics are rich in wit and subtle nuance, and he takes risks as a composer that I find fascinating," commented Connick.Composed entirely of Cole Porter songs, "True Love" highlights Connick's talents as a pianist, singer, arranger, orchestrator, and conductor, and brings new life to popular songs like "Anything Goes" and "You Do Something for Me. The work breathes new life into popular songs such as "Anything Goes" and "You Do Something for Me". After selecting the songs, writing and arranging the orchestrations and arrangements himself, he assembled and conducted a big band of longtime friends, then moved to another studio to conduct the strings, and finally entered the recording booth to record every song twice, in alphabetical order. He recorded every song twice, in alphabetical order. The result is a work that shows new depths of Connick's creativity in all areas.
