Longines Swiss Watch Brand and its "Icon of Elegance," Harry Connick, Jr., will break ground on a new home in New Orleans on Saturday, May 5 during the Jazz and Heritage Festival weekend. After raising much-needed funds and awareness for the Ellis Marsalis Center for Music in the Musicians' Village and Operation Love Thy Neighbor – two Habitat for Humanity programs – Longines and Connick are making the effort to save the sounds of New Orleans, by helping contribute to Musicians' Village. Connick, a native of New Orleans, has been an active supporter in rebuilding the Crescent City. As headliner of Jazz Festival and taking a break from his 43-city Oh, My Nola tour, Connick will trade a microphone for a hammer in the Upper Ninth Ward, one of the community's most severely affected areas by the flooding following Hurricane Katrina.
