Martin Denny - Exotica II (1958)

Martin Denny - Exotica II, 1958 Remaster

   So there I was one evening listening to Music For A Pachelor Pad Volume 3 and out pops Martin Denny and his Exotica expert and I was just intoxicated by the creative spirit of this guy.    Denny was a native New Yorker and managed to release a ton of albums over his career many of which hit the lounge genre.    These early albums are all just amazing with tons of vivid coloring, great percussion, jazzy overtones and a certain creativity that you just cant put your finger on.   No question if you crank this album your family will truely believe you flipped your lid !

   Mommy........daddy's gone coo coo.....he listening to lounge Exotica album again........
