Hey Eugene 3:10 10.Syracuse 3:50 11.Dosvedanya Mio Bombino 4:41 12.Tea For Two 5:02 Pink Martini a 12-piece orchestra from Portland, Oregon, are impossible to categorise. More like a collection of bands, on the one hand they do easy-listening, glamour-obsessed tunes that echo grand Hollywood musical themes, on the other they tackle an astonishing array of global styles in different languages. The latest set from this most un-American of all-American groups is just as diverse. It includes grand, romantic orchestral ballads, of course, mixed with a Brazilian samba once recorded by Carmen Miranda, alongside songs in Japanese, Arabic, French and Spanish. It is all very clever and very charming, and suggests that Pink Martini's versatile singer, China Forbes, is capable of even more. Dosvedanya Mio Bombino is an epic Russian-Italian ballad, Tea for Two is a delightful duet with the veteran Jimmy Scott, while the title track is an edgy, knowing, funk-edged piece that makes Pink Martini even more difficult to pigeonhole.
