Description
|
|
|
|
The mini-orchestra is led by pianist and composer Thomas Lauderdale, and China Forbes stars on vocals as Pink Martini presents a well-deserved look in the rear-view mirror of the last 16 years. Among the favorites, unreleased gems, and surprises of the 21 tracks are "Una Notte a Napoli," "Hang On, Little Tomato," "¿Donde Estas Yolanda?" (China Forbes vocals version), "Hey, Eugene," "La Soledad," "Splendor in the Grass," "Kikuchiyo To Mohshimasu (the Hiroshi Wada Mix)," "Ma Solitude" (with Georges Moustaki), "Mas Que Nada" (with Saori Yuki), "How Long Will It Last?" (with Michael Feinstein), "Tuca, Tuca," "Que Sera Sera," "Moon River" (with Gus Van Sant), "Amado Mio," "The Man With the Big Sombrero," "Aspettami" (first recording), and "Auld Lang Syne." This is one classy act, much influenced by the glamour and panache of the pop of yesteryear…. Classics include the period pop of Hang on Little Tomato, … the hymn to drunken lust, Hey Eugene … and Splendor in the Grass, as well as the superb multilingual ukulele-led version of Auld Lang Sang that featured on last year's Christmas album."—The Herald
