Jesse Harris was the songwriter behind singer Norah Jones Grammy winning hit song "Dont Know Why" and the score for actor-director Ethan Hawkes movie "The Hottest State." As a solo artist, Harris is exploring the sounds of Burt Bacharach, Brazilian rhythms -- and everything in between. He joins WNYC's Soundcheck to play songs from his new album, "Watching the Sky."
