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."
