Sympathique
While the cocktail lounge fad has seen more than a few musicians climb aboard as a career move, the members of Pink Martini are no bandwagon-riding aficionados. Fronted by pianist Thomas Lauderdale, Pink Martini is the real article--a band that approaches the music with unwavering seriousness yet never forgets the fun at the heart of it. Sympathique, the band's debut album reveals an incredibly diverse musical vocabulary on the part of frontman Lauderdale. And what singer China Forbes lacks in range and dynamics, she more than compensates for in attack, approach, and a clear understanding of the material. While most of the songs are upbeat, in the hands of Lauderdale and Forbes, "Qué será será," with its dark atmospherics should be rechristened "Qué será noir." --Wayne Pernu more

If you've ever actually had a martini, you know that its one redeeming quality is that it delivers its payload with impact, like being hit in the face with a baseball bat. A martini is Coltrane on Ascension, or Hendrix playing the Star...

- A poor effort
Pink Martini are a big disappointment. Here you have a couple of talented musicians - Lauderdale clearly knows what he is doing and his piano is the driving force behind the enterprise. He is aided by some cool brass playing by Gavin...
