Martin Denny - Exotica! '1957

Tracks list

Exotica is the first album by Martin Denny, released in 1957. It contained Les
Baxters most famous piece, Quiet Village, and spawned an entire genre bearing
its name. It was recorded December 1956 in Webley Edwards studio in Waikiki
(not, as often reported, the Aluminum Dome at Henry J. Kaisers Hawaiian Village
Complex). The album topped Billboards charts in 1959.

The album was recorded in mono. It was re-recorded in stereo in 1958; by then,
however, Dennys sideman Arthur Lyman had left the group, and was replaced by
Julius Wechter. Denny preferred the original mono version: It has the original
spark, the excitement, the feeling we were breaking new ground.
