{"product_id":"when-my-heart-finds-christmas","title":"When My Heart Finds Christmas","description":"New Orleans pianist, singer, and songwriter Harry Connick Jr. has done what many makers of Christmas records strive for but seldom achieve: he's made a Christmas record that sounds convincingly like a '40s period piece and rigorously like a cool, contemporary jazz disc. His powerful, self-written Christmas songs sound like polished standards, and he delivers the whole package with a sassy, vocal economy (with the occasional New Orleans accent) and an orchestral richness that is never indulgent or overwhelming. When My Heart Finds Christmas is a true classic that no lover of big-band jazz and singing (in the Sinatra style)--and Christmas music--should be without. There are so many great moments here that singling any one out would be at the expense of the others. Still, the reverential, solo-piano intro to \"Ave Maria,\" Connick's own \"(It Must've Been Ol') Santa Claus,\" (a rousing, second-line swing tune), and his triumphant \"I Pray on Christmas\" (a get-happy-now gospel song) deserve mention if only because they'll earn Connick extra credit in heaven and on Earth. --Martin Keller\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0000029DL\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: HBSV.B0000029DL.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Harry Connick Jr.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio cd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Discs is in good condition and comes in original case with original artwork.  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"The Happy Book Stack ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52300708315437,"sku":"HBSV.B0000029DL.G","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0855\/6799\/6205\/files\/B0000029DL-0.jpg?v=1786998966","url":"https:\/\/www.thehappybookstack.com\/products\/when-my-heart-finds-christmas","provider":"The Happy Book Stack ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
