  Martin Denny - Music Downloads - Online
Bio: Martin Denny was born April 10, 1911 in New York City.
Denny soon began incorporating South Pacific and Far East instruments into his arrangements as well, and by the time he recorded his Liberty Records debut, 1957's Exotica, his singular sound was firmly in place.
Moreover, the evolution from mono to stereo recording and playback had taken root, and with its bird whistles, jungle calls, and far-flung instruments, the many distinctive components of Denny's sound were ideal for channel separation.

 Best Of Martin Denny's Exotica CD
Marked by a global arsenal of light percussion and animal calls, Denny's chiming tunes are almost immediately identifiable, with a spare melody always providing the springboard for a stunningly eclectic array of literal bells and whistles.
Among the many charming and breezy songs on the collection are Denny's dreamy hit single "Quiet Village," the sparkling (and aptly titled) "Hypnotique," and "Miserlou," a slow, slinky counterpart to Dick Dale's revved-up surf rendition.
To all those who have loved Martin Dennys Unique Exotica music through the years, this CD is a MUST.

Denny supplied the soundtrack to those romantic reveries, and still does, well into this war-torn, terror-stricken, stressed-out 21st Century, sure to extend far beyond his recent passing at age 93.
Denny's biggest commercial success and eventual signature tune was his very first single, the classic instrumental "Quiet Village" taken from his debut album.
Ultimately, Denny's breezy brand of "Easy Listening" was washed away by the corporate rock and disco sounds of the 70s, in tragic tandem with the demolition of so many precious neighborhood tiki bars.

 Honolulu Star-Bulletin News /2005/03/04/
Martin Denny, who created "exotica" music in the 1950s and lived to see it enjoy renewed worldwide popularity as "lounge music" and "tiki culture," died last night at his Hawaii Kai residence.
Denny got so many requests for "the song with the jungle noises" that he worked up arrangements that included birdcalls and other sounds, and then enhanced the fanciful tropical ambience by using "exotic" percussion instruments.
Denny's visibility as a pop chart hit-maker had waned by the end of the 1960s, but his music remained popular in many parts of the world until it was rediscovered by a new generation of music fans in the 1990s.

Martin Denny was born April 10, 1911 in New York City--a child prodigy, at age ten he studied piano under Lester Spitz and Isadore Gorn.
But ironically, even as his music came to embody Hawaiian culture and its mythical allure, Denny himself was no longer a fixture of the island musical culture--after a bitter contract dispute with Kaiser, he brought his group stateside, and they made their first mainland appearance at the 1957 Pebble Beach Crosby Open golf tournament party.
For the most part, however, Denny remained a restless innovator--for Primitiva, he recorded using a number of gongs, drums and odd brass instruments acquired from a Buddhist mountaintop temple in Burma by friend and filmmaker John Sturges, on location to shoot the Frank Sinatra vehicle None But the Brave.

 Amazon.ca: Reviews for Exotic Sounds Of: Music: Martin Denny   (Site not responding. Last check: )
There are many negative things you can say about exotica music in general and Martin Denny in particular:the music is kitchsy and corny, it's "easy listening" music, and its sole purpose was to aid a mass audience in getting slowly stoned on martinis.
Martin has an unashamedly corny sense of humor, with one song in which a mosquito's buzz is the primary focus, and numerous songs punctuated by beautifully executed birdcalls.
The Exotic Sounds of Martin Denny were so beautiful and in keeping with the smell of flowers and almost continuous rainbows of the islands that segments were being used for commercial purposes.

 Martin Denny
Denny not only brought exotica its biggest hit of all time with his #2 single of Les Baxter's "Quiet Village,", he gave two other key figures in exotica--Arthur Lyman and Julius Wechter--their starts, and influenced several generations of lounge performers.
Denny came across the trademark of his recordings--animal noises in the background--quite by accident while performing at the Shell Bar.
After Denny's single of "Quiet Village" started its climb up the Top 40 charts, Lyman was hired by another fledling LA label, Hi Fi Records, and began recording his own string of albums, all heavily influenced by Denny's sound.
