I got to see him in concert last night and it was wonderful. Besides just bringing his band, he also had two guest performers, a trombonist and a trumpeter who were just amazing!
They played jazz and swing and Harry played a grand, and upright piano and for one number, a little organ.
His voice is wonderful and he has a very affable personality. At one point he sat down on the stage and told us several stories he said he hadn't shared with other audiences. He revealed his panic and concern for his family who live in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina and his own personal efforts to make sure they were ok.
During several numbers he danced which was nice. He truly seemed to have great respect for his band and the music and was just a stand up guy. This might have been the best concert I have ever attended.
Because it was at a smaller theater the acoustics were freaking amazing and we were close enough to see the faces of everyone on stage.
*sigh*
I know most performers have to leave venues ASAP to get to the next one but I really wish I could have gotten a pic with him :D
