One response to “To Do: Sergio Mendes, Chick Corea, Pink Martini”

    I saw Pink Martini about a year ago at the Interlochen Center for the Arts in Michigan. They are sort of a Big Band and put on a wonderful and eclectic performance. It’s really geared for over-thirties but musicians of all ages can find something to enjoy. I really liked their performance.
