[.ca] Hang On Little Tomato

From Amazon.com:
Pink Martini should be known as the little orchestra that walks a fine line in its music. The Portland, Oregon, outfit is deeply influenced by Latin music, jazz, cabaret, cinema scores, and a smattering of other styles. But rather than simply aping legendary artists in their prime--and fooling only a few dim bulbs in the process--band shakes things up by writing its own material, or at least creating tasteful new arrangements that fit within the band's unique post-lounge framework. The band keeps the playful musical vibe on Hang On Little Tomato, but jettisons what kitsch factor it had, choosing to focus wholly on original material or stuff that isn't recognizable to the average music fan. It's been a seven-year wait for fans since the band's fun debut, Sympathique, and while the blush is now off the rose, the band's creative ambitions and talent are never better displayed than here on their second effort. - Tad Hendrickson

Amazing and Unique:
I fell in love with this band 3 years ago, the first time I heard Sympathique. Hang on Little Tomato did not disappoint. They have such a unique and diverse sound. You can really play this CD anywhere and anytime, whether it's a dinner party or just cleaning your house, it's makes any occasion perfect!
