He may not have known sleigh bells and snowmen while growing up in New Orleans, but Harry Connick, Jr. always had the Christmas spirit, as he proves with his new Columbia album WHEN MY HEART FINDS CHRISTMAS.  Produced by Tracey Freeman and arranged, orchestrated, and conducted by Connick, the album is an artful blend of traditional carols, holiday favorites, and Connick originals featuring Harry on piano and vocals accompanied by a 70-piece orchestra and a 42-voice choir. One of the most striking stylists in contemporary jazz and pop, Connick puts his own indelible spin on each of the fourteen songs on WHEN MY HEART FINDS CHRISTMAS, especially with his lush and inventive orchestral arrangements.  Tracks include lighthearted pop standards like "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" (on which Connick is joined by a 12-voice children's choir), Sammy Cahn's "Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!," the swinging "Parade of the Wooden Soldiers," "Little Drummer Boy," and "Sleigh Ride," as well as the sacred carols "Ave Maria," "O Holy Night," and "What Child Is This."
