Editorial Reviews:

While the cocktail lounge fad has seen more than a few musicians climb aboard as a career move, the members of Pink Martini are no bandwagon-riding aficionados. Fronted by pianist Thomas Lauderdale, Pink Martini is the real article--a band that approaches the music with unwavering seriousness yet never forgets the fun at the heart of it. Sympathique, the band's debut album reveals an incredibly diverse musical vocabulary on the part of frontman Lauderdale. And what singer China Forbes lacks in range and dynamics, she more than compensates for in attack, approach, and a clear understanding of the material. While most of the songs are upbeat, in the hands of Lauderdale and Forbes, "Qué será será," with its dark atmospherics should be rechristened "Qué será noir." --Wayne Pernu

Summary: pink martini
Comment: i first heard this band at work, and boy did we all take notice. the music is full and lush, the vocals are incredible. makes me think of old hollywood style singing. big band ALMOST, but so much more. the track cue sera sera is incredibly haunting, both the words, the voice, and more so, the music, there is so much going on in this song we all know, that it is NEW. i am definately a huge pink martini fan.
one side note, i have purchased three copies of this, so i could give it as gifts. some copies do NOT have the bollero on it........ make sure your copy does. other than that, huge thumbs up.

Summary: Funky and fun
Comment: Loved "Sympathique" by Pink Martini...50's music cocktail music with a modern twist. Pink Martini presents a multi-lingual approach with fabulous voices, and great instrumentals. You've got to hear their version of "Que Sera Sera"....
