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

Fun gift
I heard this CD at a friend's home and enjoyed it. My husband ordered it for me. I was very suprised with his gift and enjoy listening to the music while driving home from work. Every song is a musical treat.

Funky and fun
Loved "Sympathique" by Pink Martini...50's music cocktail music with a modern twist. Pink Martini presents a multi-lingual approach with fabulous voices, and great instrumentals. You've got to hear their version of "Que Sera Sera"....

Pink Martini is fantastic
Learned about this group on NPR -- of course -- and they are fabulous. Lead singer China Forbes is astounding, and the "little orchestra" is -- well, just enjoy -- trust me, you'll get every one of their albums, which we hope, will come much more frequently!!! Bravo!

Oo La La Lovin It
I first heard of Pink Martini about a year and a half ago when friends invited my hubby and I to a concert Pink Martini was having in Seattle, Washington. Since our friends were offering, we went just for the heck of it. And, boy, are we glad we did! The band reminds me of old days gone by (OK,...

Great, but French is terrible
The music is really great, but her French accent is so deplorable I can hardly listen to Sympathique. It sounds very American teenager speaking French in a high school class. The music is wonderful if you can deal with that.

Flavored Seltzer Water
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 Spangled Banner. Presumably this "little orchestra" settled...

Simpatico
I am definitely simpatico with Pink Martini and this particular album! Sometimes I play it nearly non-stop while cooking, alternating with my other Pink Martinis: HEY EUGENE! and Hang On Little Tomato. I love the mix of languages and styles in all their albums and the wonderfully clear French...

Sympathique - fantastic!
This album is one of the best I've ever purchased. It doesn't fit a specific genre and that's the beauty of it. Excellent selection, best for dancing and just listening. Highly recommended!!!
