His father is the DA. of New Orleans and his mother, now deceased, was a judge, but the scales jazz pianist Harry Connick Jr. grew up learning to love weren't those of justice. He made his professional debut at five; at nine, Buddy Rich invited him on tour (he declined); and by fourteen he was regularly playing Bourbon Street. Connick has just cut his second album with Columbia, an upbeat update on smoky old-time jazz, and this month he begins performing at New York's Algonquin, where, at twenty-one, he'll be just old enough to order a legal drink.
