The classic romantic comedy film When Harry Met Sally was arranged by singer, pianist, and composer Harry Connick, Jr. when he was just 22. Even for his young age, Connick already was combining recognizable styles to unique effect. His approach to piano combined Monk’s dissonant punctuations, Ellington’s playful interaction with the rest of the band, and Waller’s stride left hand. Connick’s vocals display an elastic sense of time, like Sinatra, but with even more confident delivery for this age. And, he refreshed big band’s sound with an array of runs and pops on many arrangements, such as the slow-build "Don’t Get Around Much Anymore."
