Binding: Audio CDEAN: 7519371066230 Label: Heinz Records Manufacturer: Heinz Records MPN: 1 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Heinz Records Release Date: November 18, 1997 Studio: Heinz Records Editorial Review: Amazon.com: 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 Average Rating:
 Rating: - Pink Martini is FantasticI love this CD! I am not a musician but can appreciate all the work that went into this music. The music is incredible, the lyrics wonderful and China Forbes voice is flawless! The varied influences and languages make this a great collection.

Pink Martini presents a multi-lingual approach with fabulous voices, and great instrumentals. You've got to hear their version of "Que Sera Sera"....
