This is a really late reply (I've been busy with my wedding), but I
was going to recommend Harry's album, "France, I Wish You Love" It's
sort of a greatest hits. It can be expensive unless you find it
online somewhere. It is one of my favorites, especially for his big
band stuff. It's got stuff form When Harry Met Sally and Blue Light,
Red light and those are probably my favorite two albums. There are
also some great moments on each of is other cds. Personally, I like
the livelier stuff, so his newer cds aren't doing as much for me
(except I love his children's cd).
I don't know if anyone here is much into his funk albums, but She is
better than Star Turtle I think. I teach elementary school music and
when I teach 2nd grade about New Orleans we do a second line to Here
Comes the Big Parade. And I have gone to jazz festivals and have
heard bands cover that song of Harry's. Also, even my custodian has
come in when I have She on and is suprised that it's Harry. That
album was an adjustment for me at first but I ended up liking it a
lot.
