Drawing inspiration from music from all over the world – crossing genres of classical, jazz and pop – Pink Martini returns to Dreyfoos Hall with a diverse repertoire influenced by Cole Porter and Duke Ellington, Tito Puente and Xavier Cugat, as well as Argentine tango, Brazilian samba, Italian folk, Asian flair and romantic Hollywood musicals of the 1940s and ’50s. According to bandleader/pianist Thomas Lauderdale, "If the United Nations had a house band in 1962, Pink Martini would be that band."
