Martin Denny - Exotic Percussion (LP - Sea Glass Green Vinyl)

Martin Denny’s Exotic Percussion is a lush voyage into rhythm and reverie—a percussive masterpiece that redefined the boundaries of mid-century sound. Originally released in 1961, the album expands the world of Exotica with a focus on intricate drum textures, bird calls, and shimmering vibraphone. Denny’s ensemble conjures far-flung islands and tropical nightscapes through hypnotic grooves and stereophonic depth, merging jazz sophistication with primal rhythm. From the opening beat to the last fade of bamboo and bongos, Exotic Percussion captures the imagination and invites listeners to drift between worlds with every spin.
