Double Vinyl LP!
Pink Martini's ninth studio album, Je di oui!, features vocals from China Forbes, Storm Large, Ari Shapiro, fashion maven Ikram Goldman, Kathleen Saadat, and Rufus Wainwright with the Harvey Rosencrantz Orchestra and the Pacific Youth Choir.
Drawing inspiration from music from all over the world crossing genres of classical, jazz and old-fashioned pop Thomas Lauderdale founded the little orchestra Pink Martini in 1994 to provide more beautiful and inclusive musical soundtracks for political fundraisers for causes such as civil rights, affordable housing, the environment, libraries, public broadcasting, education and parks.
Pink Martinis debut album Sympathique was released independently in 1997 on the bands own label Heinz Records (named after Lauderdales dog), and quickly became an international phenomenon, garnering the group nominations for Song of the Year and Best New Artist in Frances Victoires de la Musique Awards in 2000. Pink Martini released Hang On Little Tomato in 2004, Hey Eugene! in 2007 and Splendor In The Grass in 2009. In November 2010 the band released Joy To The Worlda festive, multi-denominational holiday album featuring songs from around the globe. Joy To The World received glowing reviews and was carried in Starbucks stores during the 2010 and 2011 holiday seasons. All five albums have gone gold in France, Canada, Greece and Turkey.
In January 2012 bandleader Thomas Lauderdale began work on Pink Martinis seventh studio album when he recorded the Charlie Chaplin song Smile with the legendary Phyllis Diller. The album, titled Get Happy, was released in September 2013 and features 16 globe-spanning songs in nine languages. The bands beloved vocalist China Forbes anchors the recording, and she was joined by her co-lead singer Storm Large, recording with Pink Martini for the first time, along with a cavalcade of special guests including Rufus Wainwright, Philippe Katerine, Meow Meow, The von Trapps & Ari Shapiro.
