乐队资料
一个来自美国 Oregon 奥瑞冈州 Portland 波特兰市,拥有十四名团员的沙龙音乐团,没有国际唱片公司的庞大预算撑腰,却在竞争激烈的法国单曲排行榜上夺下第十七名的佳绩,并且入围法国乐坛大奖“Les Victoires de la Musique”音乐之光音乐奖的“年度最佳歌曲”以及“最佳新人奖”,并且夺得白金唱片,他们是 Pink Martini (红粉马丁尼)。
红粉马丁尼Pink Martini于1994年成立于美国波特兰,由钢琴手Thomas M. Lauderdale组建。由14位顶尖音乐好手所组成,包括人声、弦乐、管乐与打击乐器群;他们展现出的乐风是多元且国际化的。其音乐风格揉合爵士乐、古典乐及古巴音乐,让乐迷在聆赏的同时,仿佛置身于欧洲音乐厅、美国电影院与南美酒吧的微醺中。对红粉马丁尼乐团而言,他们以严肃的态度来制作音乐;然而音乐的表演方式却是可以不拘形式且令听众在充满惊奇的气氛中放松、享受。
2007年,Pink Martini这支多元的、富有天赋的、非常有趣的——被纽约客称作“美丽的”“成熟的”“令人兴奋异常的”乐队带着《Hey Eugene!》这张充满了娴熟的创作技巧和不停歇的华丽宣泄的专辑回来了。“我们就像音乐建筑师一样,把世界各地的旋律结合以后产出现代感的音乐。”乐队的领导者、艺术指导和创建者Thomas Lauderdale当时解释道。

Pink Martini is a musical group that was formed in 1994 by pianist Thomas Lauderdale in Portland, Oregon. Describing itself as a "little orchestra," its music crosses genres such as classical, Latin, jazz and classic pop. The co-lead vocalists for Pink Martini are China Forbes and Storm Large.
Pink Martini’s debut album ‘Sympathique’ was released independently in 1997 on the band’s own label Heinz Records (named after Lauderdale’s dog), and quickly became an international phenomenon, garnering the group nominations for “Song of the Year” and “Best New Artist”in France’s 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 World—a festive, multi-denominational holiday album featuring songs from around the globe.
In Fall 2011 the band released two albums – ‘A Retrospective’, a collection of the band’s most beloved songs spanning their 17-year career, which includes eight previously unreleased tracks, and ‘1969’, an album of collaborations with legendary Japanese singer Saori Yuki.
In February 2011, the group's lead singer, China Forbes, recorded a video greeting to the European Space Agency's Italian astronaut, Paolo Nespoli, and Russian cosmonaut Aleksandr Kaleri, on board the International Space Station. The astronauts were preparing to oversee the docking of ESA's Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV) cargo vessel, Johannes Kepler, which took place at 17:08 CET on 24 February.The greeting was set to the sound track of ‘Dosvedanya Mio Bombino’—one of Pink Martini's signature songs—and was mixed with footage of the actual docking.
During 2010–2011, Storm Large appeared as a vocalist with Pink Martini while China Forbes recovered from vocal cord surgery. Both Large and Forbes continue to perform with Pink Martini.
On September 24, 2013 the band released their seventh studio album "Get Happy", featuring numerous guest artists.
On March 4, 2014, they released Dream a Little Dream with the von Trapps.
In August 2014, Derek Rieth, congas & percussion, 43, was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head, in what was ruled a suicide. In his honor, the band established The Derek Rieth Foundation with the goal of "Empowering Youth Through Music and Dance".
On December 2015,Pink Martini has once again partnered with the incredible team at Generous to create a pay-what-you-want downloadable playlist for the occasion in order to celebrate what is arguably the best holiday of the year.Pink Martini’s Songs for the Young at Heart features 13 tracks from the Pink Martini collection that speak (and sing) to the kid in all of us. From classics like “Hang on Little Tomato” to rarely heard b-sides like “The Man With The Big Sombrero,” this playlist has something for avid fans and newcomers alike. It’s an all-ages, all-access pajama party.
