Chanson Du Vieux Carré is Harry Connick Jr.’s tribute to New Orleans. Conceived and executed well before Hurricane Katrina, Chanson Du Vieux Carré features Connick and his seventeenpiece band primarily in an instrumental setting, with two vocal tracks by band members Leroy Jones on "Bourbon Street Parade" and Lucien Barbarin on "Lucious."
Harry will promote Chanson Du Vieux Carré via personal appearances on daytime and evening shows and a national tour. A portion of the proceeds will benefit New Orleans Habitat Musicians' Village, the project conceived by Connick and Marsalis Music founder Branford Marsalis to provide affordable housing in the city's Upper Ninth Ward for displaced musicians and other needy families.
