American pianist and composer Martin Denny (1911-2016) developed a new music genre during the mid-1950s that combined jazz, Hawaiian music, Latin rhythms, bird calls, and exotic instruments such as kotos, gamelans, and Burmese temple bells into the sound that became known as 'exotica.'\u003cp\u003eBest known as the 'father of Exotica,' Denny was responsible for the genre's biggest hit of all time with his version of Les Baxter's '\u003ci\u003eQuiet Village',\u003c\/i\u003eincluded here on this LP.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExotica\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/i\u003ewas his debut album.

However, Denny always preferred the original mono version presented here.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54420547305857,"sku":"2364721","price":18.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/8436563185571.jpg?v=1750593405","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/2364721","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
