Java's Bachelor Pad Spotlight: |
Martin Denny
1911--2005
Here at Java's Bachelor Pad,
we are saddened to hear of the passing of the King of Exotica, Martin
Denny, at age 93. As regular listeners of the Bachelor
Pad Radio Show know, hardly a show goes by without a tune by
him. So, it is with great respect we raise a Mai Tai to him while "Quiet
Village" plays on the Hi-Fi.
Here
is a great remembrance of Denny from the Honolulu
Advertiser. Also, Dana Countryman, former publisher
of Cool and Strange Music Magazine, has recently posted the
full version of his Denny interview from 1997. You can read
it at his website.
You can also visit the Hi-Fi
section and read about Denny's albums, the classic "Quiet
Village" and the recently-released live album "Baked
Alaska."
