  • Martin Denny - Exotica
    Artist: Martin Denny was an American pianist, composer, and arranger. Known as the "father of exotica," he was a multi-instrumentalist and could play a number of percussion instruments. Denny was born in New York City and raised in Los Angeles. He studied classical piano and toured South America for four and a half years in the 1930s with the Don Dean Orchestra
    In January 1954, Don the Beachcomber brought Denny to Honolulu, for a two-week engagement. He stayed to form his own combo in 1955, performing under contract at the Shell Bar in the Hawaiian Village on Oahu and soon signing to Liberty Records. The original combo consisted of Augie Colon on percussion and birdcalls, Arthur Lyman on vibes, John Kramer on string bass, and Denny on piano.
    Denny described the music his combo played as "window dressing, a background". He built a collection of strange and exotic instruments with the help of several airline friends. They would bring Denny back these instruments and he would build arrangements around them. His music was a combination of ethnic styles: South Pacific, the Orient and Latin rhythms.
    Label: Liberty
    Year: 1957

    マーティンデニー楽団というと静かな村でしょうか。夏の時期によくかかりますがほかはめったに紹介される機会も無いという感じでしょうか?エキゾチックサウンドにもっと関心が高まるといいのでですが?CDも発売してほしいです!

      It's quite a unique time capsule of that subculture's music. Although it has some negative connotations with colonialism and orientalism, when viewed in historical context it makes sense this became popular.
