Pink Martini: Splendor in the Grass
by eric
It’s no secret that Pink Martini is my favorite music group of all time. When they broke with tradition and performed in Los Angeles instead of Portland on my birthday (New Years Eve), at first I was really mad, but then attempted to get a plane ticket to LA for the performance. I ended up just having to listen to it on NPR, however. Their 4th studio album, Splendor in the Grass, will be released next month, along with a live performance album with the Oregon Symphony next spring. This morning they performed on KCRW’s Morning Becomes Eclectic, performing several songs from the new album, and I’m enchanted. You can listen here:

I’m digging this new album … it’s got a quirky quality to it which I like over their last album. Catching them in Oakland at the Paramount Theater was also a great experience. Seeing them live made me appreciate their music more.
