Martin Denny - Exotica

Martin Denny's debut No. 1 album released in 1957

First time mono reissue on Jackpot Records

American composer and bandleader Martin Denny launched a 30-year career and entire genre of music with this No. 1 album originally released in 1957.

Combining a blend of influences from Hawaiian tiki bars and international lounges, Denny's Exotica took the world by storm and became a No. 1 with its collection of Hawaiian music, tribal drums, jungle noises, and bird calls! Exotica spawned an entire genre and the birth of the Tiki/Cocktail movement.

The tantalizing cover art became an industry onto itself, and it has been lovingly restored for this release.
