- <p> At 21, Harry Connick Jr. isn't quite old enough to be a jazz
- master. But the New Orleans native has been working at it for
- a while. At six, he was already sitting in with Dixieland
- musicians. Right now he seems to be winning for jazz piano the
- same young audience that Wynton Marsalis won for jazz horn.
- "It's the kind of music I was born to play," Connick says. But
- while he can mimic a wide range of styles, Connick admits he
- doesn't have his own. "I'm still trying to understand Duke
- Ellington and Art Tatum." Harry, you've got lots of time.
