American piano player and composer Martin Denny (1911-2005), developed a new musical genre. In the mid-'50s, he combined lounge jazz, Hawaiian music, Latin rhythms, bird calls, and then-exotic ethnic instruments like koto, gamelans, and Burmese temple bells into the sound that became known as \"exotica.\" Best known as the \"father of Exotica,\" he was responsible for the genre's biggest hit of all time with his version of Les Baxter's \"Quiet Village,\" included in this, his first LP. Exotica was his debut album. First released in May of 1957, it topped Billboard's charts in 1959. Originally recorded in mono, the album was entirely remade in stereo in 1958 with Julius Wechter in place of Arthur Lyman, who had left the group. However, Denny always preferred the original mono version (presented on this edition).

Forbidden Island was Denny's third record, recorded after a nine-month residency in Hawaii. This era finds Denny just on the cusp of being a household name, a period where his records would shortly become certified Gold. Forbidden Island is a solidification of Denny being the King of the Exotica sound, where his recordings could illuminate just enough darkness across the Tiki Bar to let a few of us slowly dance the night away.

His production on Exotic Percussion is ambitious, adventurous, and fascinatingly futuristic, especially when a tumbler with ice was still the preferred way to let loose. Xylophones and chimes swim from ear to ear; traditional jazz instrumentation collides with such musical oddities as boo bas, shamisens, Manga harp, and Burmese gongs. As always, the choice of compositions on a Martin Denny record is a bizarre yet exciting spin around the globe, but this one is even weirder than usual. From the faster-than-light of \"Cumana\" to the luscious groove of \"Moonlight On The Ganges\" (made famous by Frank Sinatra and a track that is still being played on a loop at Disneyland's Jungle Cruise attraction), it's a whiplash of a ride. But the stand-out on the record is the combo of \"Misirlou\" (which would be made famous a few years later by Dick Dale and even decades later with it's appearance in Pulp Fiction). So join the conga line and head out into the street as Martin Denny once again creates a world we yearn to return to and an album we can always revisit.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eShop online 24\/7 at.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ThinkIndie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45662626250973,"sku":"843563171479","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/4366900-3230265.jpg?v=1727152360"},{"product_id":"martin-denny-hawaii-1","title":"Martin Denny- Hawaii","description":" \u003cp\u003eShop online 24\/7 at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDarkside Records\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Used Purchases","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45729691238621,"sku":"ULST7488","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/image_823bdcc4-c1c7-43d9-8ed5-b01ad5d8a8cb.jpg?v=1727988833"},{"product_id":"martin-denny-deep-exotica-music-from-martin-dennys-lush-uk","title":"Martin Denny- Deep Exotica: Music From Martin Denny's Lush (Uk) (CD)","description":"\u003cp\u003eFour albums plus bonus tracks from the master of exotica Martin Denny.

It was 1957, down in Hawaii; some jazz guys had come in to take up the slack at the bar, playing subtle cool sounds while people drank and talked. It was the Hawaiian Village Hotel in Wakiki. The room was filled with palm trees and bamboo curtains, it was a sanctuary in the madness of the place, a stopping off point for the weary traveller, a refuge from reality. The band did long stints, fuelled by the free bar; the exotic setting slowly infused itself into their music, got under their skin. What started as a few bird calls amid the scraped percussion, shuffling drums, tinkling piano and offset vibes soon became the signature sound of the bar. The \"sound effects\", created by the players, increased and through chance, misfortune, rum and possibly initially boredom, exotica was born.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuiet Village\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReturn to Paradise 03 Hong Kong Blues 04 Busy Port\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLotus Land\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSimilau\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStone God\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJungle Flower\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChina Nights (????)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAh Me Furi (???)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWaipo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLove Dance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShoshu Night Serenade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIsland of Dreams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJapanese Farewell Song\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSinging Bamboos\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Queen Chant (Li Liu E)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Hawaiian Wedding Song (Ke Kali Nei Au)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEscales\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen First I Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAugust Bells\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBacoa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEbb Tide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRush Hour in Hong Kong\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLlama Serenade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Enchanted Sea\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJungle River Boat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHarbor Lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManila\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMama Iti E Papa E\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBamboo Lullaby\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRingo Oiwake\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMoon of Manakoora\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLimehouse Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeautiful Kahana\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCaravan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCongo Train\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHello, Young Lovers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStranger in Paradise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHawaiian War Chant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoronation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSake Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParadise Found\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFirecracker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMartinique\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMy Little Grass Shack in Kealakekua, Hawaii Cha Cha Cha\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTune from Rangoon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHappy Talk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePagan Love Song\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLaura\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuiet Village\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Alliance - BT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46983664435421,"sku":"5013929991620","price":25.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/4223574-2987850.jpg?v=1762925837"},{"product_id":"martin-denny-greatest-hits","title":"Martin Denny- Greatest Hits (CD)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis product is an authorized manufactured on demand CD-R\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuiet Village\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnchanted Sea, The\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTaste of Honey, A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMartinique\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePearly Shells\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHawaiian Wedding Song\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeyond the Sea\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNow Is the Hour\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOff Shore\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReturn to Paradise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Alliance - BT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46985577267421,"sku":"715187768529","price":17.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/108799.jpg?v=1762929515"},{"product_id":"martin-denny-latin-village","title":"Martin Denny- Latin Village (Vinyl)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"aec-desc-review collapse\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1964, Martin Denny looked beyond the Hawaiian and Asian influences of his previous records to find another place to plant his umbrella in the sand, as well as in your drink: the sounds of Latin America.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e 1 Angelito\u003cbr\u003e 2 On Green Dolphin Street\u003cbr\u003e 3 Corcovado\u003cbr\u003e 4 Without You (Tres Palabras)\u003cbr\u003e 5 Ho-Ba-La-La\u003cbr\u003e 6 Something Latin\u003cbr\u003e 7 Manha de Carnaval\u003cbr\u003e 8 Latin Village\u003cbr\u003e 9 The Girl from Ipanema\u003cbr\u003e 10 Malaguena\u003cbr\u003e 11 Sugar Cane\u003cbr\u003e 12 Flying Down to Rio\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cp\u003eUPC \u0026gt;
