Pink Martini

Soundcheck | May 3, 2010
The dozen-member pop orchestra Pink Martini continues to expand their cosmopolitan blend of styles and sounds on their fourth album, Splendor in the Grass. Musical styles jump promiscuously from jazz to cabaret to pop to world music, while songs are sung in English, Neapolitan, Italian, French and Spanish. The Portland, Oregon ensemble packs into our studio for a live performance.
