Description
Pink Martini, the worldly and sophisticated – and oh yeah, fun – little orchestra from Portland, Ore., might have some listeners scrambling for Rosetta Stone lessons when they hear “Get Happy.” The songs on the new release are in English, German, French, Spanish, Japanese, Turkish, Farsi, Chinese and Romanian. But no need to stress: Despite their differences in tongue, these songs are as digestible as a smooth cocktail because bandleader Thomas Lauderdale finesses the arrangements into a sumptuous collection of music, from frolicsome to steamy.
