| |
| The eclectic, acoustic-oriented sounds of Pink Martini have never been |
| easy to categorize, but that hasn't prevented the Portland, OR-based |
| band from acquiring a loyal, enthusiastic cult following. Some reviewers |
| have considered Pink Martini to be a product of the neo-swing trend of |
| the 1990s and have compared them to bands like the Squirrel Nut Zippers, |
| Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, and the Cherry Poppin' Daddies; however, Pink |
| Martini have a much broader range of influences. And while most of the |
| neo-swing acts that emerged in the 1990s favored a combination of jump |
| blues and early rock & roll ù sort of Louis Jordan and Big Joe Turner by |
| way of Little Richard, Buddy Holly, and Chuck Berry ù the diverse Pink |
| Martini have offered a risk-taking blend of jazz (mainly swing), world |
| music, cabaret, lounge, and 1940s-1950s film music. Pink Martini's |
| influences are far-reaching, ranging from Cole Porter and Duke Ellington |
| to French icon Edith Piaf to Latin greats such as Xavier Cugat, Beny |
| MorΘ, and Tito Puente ù and a variety of world music has affected them, |
| including French chanson, Afro-Cuban salsa, Argentinean tango, Brazilian |
| samba and bossa nova, Italian folk, Greek rembetiko, Middle Eastern |
| music, and Asian music. Impressively, Pink Martini's lead singer, China |
| Forbes (b. April 29, 1970, Cambridge, MA), has performed in at least ten |
| different languages, including English, Spanish, Italian, French, |
| Portuguese, Greek, Arabic, and Japanese. In 2004, Pink Martini |
| founder/pianist Thomas M. Lauderdale (b. July 14, 1970, Oakland, CA) |
| articulated the band's global outlook perfectly when he said: "I think |
| it's important to be a citizen of the world as opposed to being a |
| citizen of this particular country. Part of that means studying other |
| people's languages." |
