Pink Martini – Splendor in the Grass (LP+MP3)

Featured in Michael Fremer’s Heavy Rotation in the August 2011 Issue of Stereophile!

180g Vinyl remastered by Bernie Grundman!

The long-awaited fourth album features several songs in a classic Pink Martini style (“Ninna nanna,” “Ou est ma tete?”) alongside excursions into 1970s (“Splendor in the Grass,” “Ohayoo,” “Sing”), modernist minimalism (“New Amsterdam”), classic ranchera (“Piensa en mi”) and swing (“But Now I’m Back”).

“Mamboing transvestite district attorneys, a 90-year-old Mexican Ranchera singer, a Tchaikovsky piano concerto, Italian pop kitsch, missing heads, Peter Sellers’ sitar, Sesame Street singalongs, and a Neapolitan lullaby – it could only be the fourth album from Thomas Lauderdale’s Little Jazz-Lounge Orchestra…triumphant.” – Time UK
