A large-ish ensemble led by pianist Thomas Lauderdale and singer China Forbes, Pink Martini is maddeningly, wonderfully eclectic in a way that few other groups could hope to be. Drawing from Parisian pop, jazz, the European cabaret tradition, Latin rhythms, and pre-1960 Hollywood film soundtracks, all combined with urbanity and elan, this Martini will leave the listener both shaken and stirred. A fab bonus: Jimmy Scott, the legendary and unique jazz vocalist, appears on "Tea For Two."
