I'm one of the gang that gathers there to hear the fresh, clean tropical sounds of Martin Denny and his group. Why do I go for Denny's type of music? It's professional, and very expetly put together for the public. It's new, for it uses instruments and rhythms not usually found in modern popular music. It's witty, and much to the taste of people who like a little humor for the long haul. But in my case, I like it particularly because it reminds me of places I've been, and sounds I've loved. It's really very exciting to see the Denny group perform in Hawaii. The great brass gongs, the Asian instruments (whose names I never can remember), the tropical setting, and the proficiency of the performers make the music a delight for the late wanderer. This is music to see - and on this record there are many new sounds that will force the listener tohis own word pictures. It's music to feel - and Denny is careful to provide in his orchestrations the specific sound of things banging into other things, or scraping across them, or being struck by a human hand. deparam eh, 1 got a charge ou my end's oic and his record is mea his mood. This 'blurb' is different from many that you read these days — I'm not getting paid a nickel for it... I just happen to like the music that comes with the package, and I think you will too. - JAMES MICHENER Visible Cover Edge Wear please see pics THIS RECORD IS IN FAIR please see pics CONDITION ITEM SOLD AS-IS .
