Feel like some FREE jazz w/ Harry Connick Jr.?
You just saw a quick vid of Harry Connick Jr.'s "Take All of Me", one of his quintessential moments on stage. He's taking that act with his Nola's Big Band in March to Shanghai. For those of you who don't know Harry Connick Jr., he's been playing the piano since he was 9, sings a la' a young Frank Sinatra, acts (remember, he kissed Deborah Messing in Will & Grace among many other roles) and composes jazz and big band music with the gusto of such notables as Winston and Bradford Marsalis. So if you weren't already hankering for some New Orleans flavor (or something cool and different in Shanghai) and a bit of diversity in the Spring concert circuit, you've found what you're looking for.
What will he be playing? HJC's latest album, Oh, My Nola is a tribute album to the people and music of New Orleans. Still suffering to recover from Hurricane Katrina, Oh, My Nola brings out some of HCJ's best with everything from stride piano, Cajun, big band jazz, pop and R&B. A portion of each album sales helps support the New Orleans recovery effort. CW is giving away FREE tickets to Harry's show this March 9th at Shanghai International Gymnastics Center and hopes to see you there. To enter into a chance to win, simply follow the instructions below in the comments field.

I'd take Mr. Connick and the Band back to my place where we'd all snuggle up under the covers, nuke some popcorn, and watch Harry steal our hearts with his unforgettable role as Captian Jimmy Wilder in Independence Day. "Let's kick the tires and light the fires, big daddy!" Indeed we will, sir, indeed we will.

After the show, I would hand HCJ and members of his band a copy of CW and I'd suggest to look on page 25 and we all go to check out Wink Pettis & Turnstyle at RedBeat. When we get tired of the live music, we would take out our CW again and check out bar listings and club and pick a good place on the Bund. Finally, we would round out the night with a good fix of American food at City Diner.

I forgot to mention, shanghaied reminded me, that before we put in Independence Day at my house, we'd all have a serious discussion about this month's topics in CW, I'd help HCJ and band sign up their own profiles here on CWonline, and then Collin Crowell would do a magic show for us. Only then would we pop in ID4.

Hi Casperxx, there were other contest pages on different sections of the website that also accepted responses for Harry Connick Jr.
You can find them here: http://www.cityweekend.com.cn/shanghai/events/19820/ and here: http://www.cityweekend.com.cn/beijing/articles/blogs-beijing/the-beat/feel-like-some-free-jazz-w-harry-connick-jr1/
Usually there is a sentence in the contest description with links to all the other corresponding contest pages, I am not sure what happened to them.
Better luck next time casperxx! And sorry for the confusion!

You just won two tickets to see Harry Connick Jr. and he wants to hit the town after the show with you and the band, where do you take him?
Answer that question w/ the most creative answer, and we'll give you a pair of FREE first class tickets to see Harry Connick Jr. live in concert at the Shanghai Gymnastics Stadium on March 9th. We'll give preference to those winners who help share news of the concert, have complete CW profiles and are as creative as they are fun. Winners will be notified on March 5.
