Pink Martini presents a new concert favorite featuring Ari Shapiro, Pink Martini All-Star and longtime guest vocalist of the band. "Et maintenant" is better known in the US by its English version, "What Now My Love," but of course Pink Martini chose to go back to cover the original, in French. Written in 1961 by composer Gilbert Bécaud and lyricist Pierre Delanoë, the music rises through a dizzying progression of key changes, and is directly inspired by Ravel's "Bolero," which is also a Pink Martini concert favorite. This performance, filmed on a rainy day in September 2021, soon after the band started touring again after a long hiatus during quarantine, this performance features a string section from the Portland Youth Philharmonic, along with Pink Martini's regular violinist Nicholas Crosa and cellist Pansy Chang, at the midway point of an epic three hour concert in the band's hometown.
MUSICIANS: Thomas M. Lauderdale, piano and bandleader Ari Shapiro, vocals Thomas Barber, trumpet Robert Taylor, trombone Phil Baker, upright bass Dan Faehnle, guitar Pansy Chang, cello Nicholas Crosa, violin Reinhardt Melz, drums Andrew Borger, percussion
