People first smitten with Harry Connick Jr. due to his easy, timeless charm and swoon-worthy croon on the 1989 soundtrack When Harry Met Sally are in for a big treat. Come by Me, a delightful sequence of treasures both old and new, is Connick's first big-band record since 1991's Blue Light, Red Light. What's not to like? With equal precision and confidence, Connick and his 16-piece band (and at times a full symphony orchestra) move seamlessly between the boisterous self-penned title cut, the Mancini standard "Charade," and the Cole Porter gem "Love for Sale." He gives a straight and moving voice and piano take on "Danny Boy," a stepped-up freshness to "There's No Business Like Show Business," and "Cry Me a River," following his unique vision, becomes an emotionally broken Bourbon Street funereal march. Strings swell, horns wail and skronk, high hats tap time, and those magic fingers dance across the keys. All told, Come by Me is a welcome invitation. --Paige La Grone

 You've got to get this album. So exciting and enjoyable!! October 11, 1999

In this album he did more of his big band style stuff and it was just such a joy to listen to. It just makes you excited about life and that is definately one of the signs of good music. Harry is a genius as we fans already know and this just takes it to even greater heights. Some people complain about his funk stuff and such because they don't understand that it's all a part of what Harry grew up with -- it's all a part of New Orleans and the feel of what Harry is all about. So I don't say thank goodness he came back to the more big bandish, swing style -- but instead I say thank goodness that he came out with another CD so soon after the last one(I was starting to get major withdrawals). Harry always comes through for his fans and that is something that doesn't happen very often -- or so it seems -- in the music world. He's consistently amazing and never dissapointing. His music is always filled with life and this CD is no exception. THANKS HARRY!!

I haven't been a harry connick jr fan until now. i just bought this cd b/c of a friend's comments, and I absolutly love it. I like that he mixes the songs with those he wrote and old classics as well, like "change partners" and others. He sings them nice and slow, and has such a fantastic voice. But, my favorites on here are "Nowhere with love" and "Come by me." They're really catchy tunes. And the big band sound is what makes it great jazz. I'm delighted to say this made me a fan of his! It's smooth and relaxing, I really recommend this! :)

Harry Connick Jr.'s "Come By Me" is a fabulous mix of fresh arrangements on beloved standards and refreshingly beautiful new and original songs. He uses both Orchestra and a return to the Big Band style for some wonderful variety. The more I played it, the more I loved it.
The songs he has written including "Nowhere With Love" and "Come By Me", combined with his smooth and familiar vocal tones, and the wonderful sounds of the very talented musicians, seem to have a perfect fit with songs we already love. He does it his way with such greats as Cole Porter's "Love For Sale", the soft shoe sound of Irving Berlin's "There's No Business Like Show Business" and his touching rendition of the sentimental "Danny Boy".
It's an absolute treat to hear Johnny Mercer's and Henry Mancini's "Charade" and Arthur Hamilton's "Cry Me A River" revived so wonderfully for a new generation to aprreciate. If you think they just don't make em like they used to, Harry's own "A Moment With Me" should make you happy. He puts his own heart and soul into his originals, and the fine intsrumental solos complete the package.
I love the mix and the variety(see buying info for complete list of songs) on this album. Romantic, dreamy, sentimental and nostalgic. There are 13 tracks in all that run a nice hour. The CD is a very good quality. A fold out pamphlet is enclosed with some production notes and the words to all the songs.
For Romancing and dancing, for Harry fans and lovers of the old standards(or lovers in general)...it's "best of the bill"..enjoy...Laurie

Connick is Back in the Swing of Things February 22, 2000

Just when you thought he's stuck in funk forever, Harry Connick Jr takes a step back, and a nice step forward with his big band. "Come By Me", the album's title track, has a very contagious beat, beginning with a vamping piano, and then splashing with full swing sound. This is sure to get your foot tapping. Also included in this big band come-back is a version of the ageless "No Business Like Show Business", revealing Connick's drive for the spotlight. A long awaited release for many, this earns an anticipated 5 stars for it's appeal to Connick fans, new and old alike.

Harry Connick, Jr is by far one of the most original persons I have ever heard. This cd is great. Not as fast as his earlier releases, but that's no problem. Come By Me, Danny Boy, Cry Me a River and Time After Time are some of the best tracks on the cd. please buy it! come BUY me! (sorry, that was bad)
