Product Description: After a seven-year gap between their first and second albums, Pink Martini have brought forth their third long-player just over two and a half years later. Based in Portland, Oregon, this dazzling 12-piece ensemble are led by pianist Thomas Lauderdale and fronted by vocalist China Forbes. Their rich musical journeys carry listeners everywhere from a ballroom in Havana to a cabaret in Paris. This set even includes a number in Japanese and another in Arabic. With their strings, horns, and sultry rhythms, Pink Martini find the common denominators in these musics from around the globe. Hey Eugene! is perfectly bookended with a pair of decidedly American numbers: their original "Everywhere" evokes musicals from Hollywood's golden era, while "Tea for Two" finds guest duet partner Jimmy Scott adding his emotionally riveting singing. While Lauderdale and his cohorts draw from past times and styles, they never come off as museum curators; rather, they celebrate the vibrancy that makes music timeless. --David Greenberger

Customer Reviews
music to dance to
Pink Martini's music is global music sung in different languages and to romantic beats. My favorite is the poignant signature song "Hey Eugene" -- tells the story of meeting someone, you feel a spark but they don't follow through and call. I love this album!

Very good singer and very good musicians
This is the new work from Pink Martini (2007), a "Jazz/Latin/Orchestra" music group (sometimes it is difficult to classify the stile!), which has a beautiful singer with a beautiful voice, accompanied by very good and talented musicians. I knew Pink Martini at first from their CD Simpathique, also a beautiful disc. In this new work they play very interesting and inspiring songs, in Japanese, French, and Brazilian Portuguese among others. She sings here the well know song Tea for Two (Do you remember Doris Day?), really beautiful in her voice. Another song they play that deserve a remark is Tempo Perdido, composed by Ataulpho Alves, a well know Brazilian composer and singer (05/02/1909 - 04/20/1969). This disc is a must for people that enjoy new rhythms, innovation, Jazz, Latin Music, Brazilian Music, and off course, a mix of all of these. I hope it helps the buyers to decide. Thanks for reading.
