Product Details

Harry Connick Jr. grew up steeped in New Orleans musical tradition, studying under Ellis Marsalis and cutting his teeth on the city's jazz lineage from childhood. That deep classical and orchestral grounding, often overshadowed by his pop visibility, is fully front and center here, a reminder that long before the hit records, there was a serious composer at work.

Babe: Elaboratio is Harry Connick Jr.'s most personal work to date: a 50-minute orchestral piece for piano, big band, and full orchestra, written as a tribute to his mother. Connick was ten years old when his mother was diagnosed with ovarian cancer; she died three years later, when he was thirteen. Sweeping in scope and deeply intimate in origin, Babe: Elaboratio finds Connick moving beyond the stage to reveal a side of his story he's never shared before - the private grief, memory, and devotion behind the music. Whether you know Harry Connick Jr. As a Grammy- and Emmy-winning vocalist, pianist, actor, or bandleader, Babe: Elaboratio stands apart as a singular artistic statement - a son's musical love letter to his mother, four and a half decades in the making.
