  • September 06, 2000 GET A LIFE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Music Review Connick's Come By Me Is Real Good by Hannah Crane Staff Writer Although not a brand spanking new album, Harry Connick Jr.'s Come By Me is a collection of Big Band standards and new songs that is worthy of attention. Connick is known for his role in the resurgence of the popularity of Big Band and swing and, unlike many other artists, it is not a fad for him. A pianist by trade, Harry Connick Jr. has been a musician since he was six. He writes a good deal of his music, but he also has a way of reviving old Big Band favorites that is both refreshing and innovative, yet respectful of the original artist's rendition. The title track "Come By Me" goes right to the heart of things; it has a be-bop, rock-feel reminiscent of music from the early fifties. The song is a definite foot- tapper with the piano carrying the beat in the beginning. There is also a sweet piano lead right before the rest of the band joins in. It is a sassy piece, and Connick carries it off well. Another song, written by Connick, is "Easy For You to Say". It is a nice combination of the jazz band with the orchestra that ends up feeling like something film noir. The lyrics for this song are some of the best on the album: "The April that I knew/ with her cool soft rain/ has turned into a flowerless May...you tell me there are plenty of fish/ in the deep blue sea/ but the only one I caught/ just got away". The instrumentation creates a foggy, sad feeling, but the beauty of the loneliness convinces the listener that being heartbroken is part of being truly alive. Connick's jazz appeal is evident in the song "A Moment With Me". There is a hint of mystery in the instrumentation, thanks to a growling bass line and the piano's whispers. The song says: "You choose drawn curtains instead of light/ your airy demeanor becomes polite/ all the things you adore/ don't mean all that much anymore/ well there's really no mystery/ you just need someone to listen/ come and spend a moment with me". Once again, Connick's sultry delivery convinces the listener that he really cares. Connick has a way of reviving the old favorites. His makeover of the Henry Mancini classic, "Charade" gives the song a lift from the pits of easy listening. The snazzy saxophones, brassy trumpets, and up-beat tempo make for a sleazy number about people masquerading and playing games instead of being true lovers. Another standard that got the Connick treatment is the 1947 classic "Time After Time". This number follows in the grand tradition of the long instrumental introduction followed by a few lyrics to tie it all together. The lyrics themselves are not particularly earth-shaking in their expression of sentiment, but that is not their purpose. There are some powerful horn solos in this piece that transport the listener back to the forties so that they can almost feel that they are in a dark, smoky club listening to the house band. Connick's remake of Arthur Hamilton's "Cry Me a River" has been called a New Orleans funeral dirge. Truly, the listener can feel the broken heart of the writer. The trumpet has a fun part in this piece, mimicking the sound of someone crying in certain parts. Connick's delivery of this piece is remarkable, he's almost sarcastic, but soulful still the same. Come By Me is something to listen to when trying to capture a romantic mood or unwind after a busy day of classes — goes nicely with a cup of hazelnut mocha. The CD is user-friendly; not even underwriters in Sylva could find this collection objectionable. 3law>&co<p,e&: fe.% Cnteitaiiimetit 3lu%p,a&e& Clnly, CaftH-icoxn ea Goats are sure-footed and strong- willed in most undertakings.
