Splendor In The Grass
Fans of Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Louis Jordan, Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry, Cole Porter, Tito Puente, and the Hollywood musicals of the 40’s and 50’s will groove to Pink Martini. The Boston Globe describes their music as “a wondrously eclectic tapestry of foreign textures, sounds, and cultures” with lead singer China Forbes “an unpretentious, pitch-perfect chanteuse who can be breathy, girlish or sultry” (NYT). The 2007 success of the third studio album Hey Eugene! has admirers eager for the long-awaited fourth album that features guest artists Courtney Taylor-Taylor, Emilio Delgado, Chevela Vargas and a debut by Ari Shapiro, popular correspondent for National Public Radio.
