Something Else!
What with all of the bits of nasty weather, work deadlines, etc ... a person can get just plain frazzled. So what's needed on the drive to work is some romantic and swanky musings. Pink Martini definitely fits the bill. The suave Oregon-based collective bravely mixes together influences from many, many genres to produce something completely unique. I can't even give it a label.

Or “The Christmas Song." Or “Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer." Take your pick, because everybody seems to have a Christmas tune that they detest. Heck, I've got a friend who will only listen Vince Guaraldi's music from A Charlie Brown Christmas. Everything ...

Seattle Jazz Scene
from The Seattle Times:
The concept behind the vocal jazz group Cocoa Martini seems both familiar and novel, three women who sing songs that most of us know well, backed by a quartet.
When performing, the three singers, who straddle age 50, dress in elegant, evening dresses and take turns singing most of the songs, harmonizing on about a third of them, taking care in between to joke, address the audience and talk about their experience with the music.
