Podcast appearances and mentions of Martin Denny

Hawaiian Concert Guide – Show 705 Theme: "Fickle Mistress" This episode flows naturally through four movements: Identity & Heritage – Traditional Hawaiian values and community. Voyaging & Legacy – Remembering those who carried Hawaiian culture forward. Family & Renewal – Songs of love, hope, and future generations. Exotica Escape – Mid-century tropical lounge before returning home with classic Hawaiian harmony. Opening Welcome everyone to another edition of the Hawaiian Concert Guide. This week we begin in the heart of Hawaiian tradition, celebrating family, community, and the enduring spirit of aloha. Along the way we'll hear legendary voices, modern artists carrying forward the tradition, and finish with another visit to the fascinating world of Martin Denny before closing with the unmistakable harmonies of Hoʻokena. Whether you're listening from Hawaiʻi or somewhere far away where the islands are simply calling your heart home, mahalo for joining us. Song 1 Model T Artist: Ei Nei Album: Ei Nei, Look At Us Background Ei Nei is one of Hawaiʻi's respected contemporary Hawaiian vocal groups. Their recordings emphasize traditional language, acoustic instrumentation, and close vocal harmony rather than commercial production. "Model T" is an unusual title for a Hawaiian recording and immediately catches attention. Analysis The song uses the Ford Model T as metaphor rather than merely nostalgia. Like the famous automobile that continued working long after newer cars replaced it, the song celebrates endurance, reliability, and the value of things built to last. Within Hawaiian culture this becomes symbolic of: kūpuna wisdom family traditions older ways that remain useful today respect for craftsmanship Rather than chasing every modern trend, the song quietly reminds listeners that proven traditions often carry us farther than fashionable innovations. Musically: relaxed swing feel acoustic guitar upright bass warm harmony vocals understated humor The storytelling style feels very local—more "talk story" than performance. Interesting discussion point Many Hawaiian songs preserve everyday island life that might otherwise disappear. Cars, fishing boats, ranch work, neighborhood traditions—all become cultural history through music. Song 2 Pua Līlia / Pulupē Nei ʻIli I Ke Anu Artist: Ei Nei Background This medley combines two traditional Hawaiian compositions. "Pua Līlia" references the lily flower, often symbolizing beauty, affection, and cherished memories. "Pulupē Nei ʻIli I Ke Anu" literally evokes skin chilled by the cold—a poetic Hawaiian expression describing emotional longing as much as physical sensation. Analysis Together the songs explore one of Hawaiian poetry's favorite themes: Nature reflects emotion. Flowers become people. Wind becomes memory. Cold becomes loneliness. Rain becomes tears. This style reflects the Hawaiian poetic tradition known as kaona, where deeper meanings hide beneath seemingly simple descriptions of nature. Listeners familiar with Hawaiian language often hear multiple layers simultaneously. Musically the arrangement allows: graceful vocal blending flowing slack-key influenced accompaniment gentle tempo that lets the language breathe Song 3 Na Mamo O Hōkūleʻa Artist: Eric Lee Album: The Islands Are Calling Background One of the emotional highlights of today's show. The title means: "The Children (Descendants) of Hōkūleʻa." Hōkūleʻa, launched in 1975, transformed Hawaiian cultural identity by proving that Polynesians intentionally navigated the Pacific using traditional celestial navigation. Analysis The song honors: navigators teachers cultural practitioners future generations Rather than focusing only on the canoe itself, Eric Lee celebrates the people inspired by its voyages. The lyrics remind listeners that everyone who learns Hawaiian language, practices hula, paddles canoe, or studies navigation becomes part of that continuing legacy. Musically: contemporary Hawaiian arrangement uplifting chorus layered harmony strong melodic hook This is heritage music without sounding historical. It looks toward the future. Discussion point Very few cultural revival movements have succeeded as dramatically as the Hawaiian Renaissance. Hōkūleʻa became much more than a canoe. It became proof that cultural knowledge could be recovered. Song 4 He Aloha No Kaʻililauokekoa Artist: Eric Lee Background This composition is a tribute song. The title translates approximately as: "Love for Kaʻililauokekoa." Many Hawaiian songs preserve individuals through musical remembrance. Analysis Traditional Hawaiian memorial songs are rarely mournful. Instead they celebrate: character generosity family contribution continuing spiritual presence Love never truly disappears. It simply changes form. Eric Lee's vocal delivery is especially sincere here, avoiding theatrical emotion in favor of heartfelt storytelling. The arrangement leaves space for the lyrics to remain central. Song 5 Brighter Life Artist: Kaleo Phillips Album: E Mama Background Kaleo Phillips represents a younger generation of Hawaiian musicians who comfortably blend island contemporary music with traditional values. Analysis This optimistic composition centers on hope rather than nostalgia. Themes include: gratitude resilience moving forward family support personal growth Rather than ignoring life's hardships, the song suggests that aloha provides strength to overcome them. The production feels modern without abandoning Hawaiian identity. Expect: polished vocals contemporary rhythm accessible melody This is exactly the type of music helping Hawaiian artists reach younger audiences. Song 6 Noe Ke Alaula Artist: Kaleo Phillips Background The title references the red glow of dawn. Morning imagery appears frequently throughout Hawaiian mele. Analysis Sunrise represents: renewal forgiveness beginning again spiritual awakening The composition encourages listeners to embrace each new day with gratitude. The melodic phrasing mirrors the slow appearance of first light over the islands. Instrumentally: relaxed guitar tasteful percussion spacious arrangement It provides a peaceful transition before today's Exotica segment. Exotica Segment Introduction Now we step into another musical universe. During the late 1950s and early 1960s America became fascinated with an imagined South Pacific. The result became known as Exotica. Although not authentically Hawaiian, this music introduced millions to tropical sounds and inspired later interest in genuine Hawaiian music. No artist defined the genre more than Martin Denny. Song 7 Chinese Lullaby Artist: Martin Denny Album: Hypnotique Background Martin Denny frequently blended Asian influences with Polynesian instrumentation. Analysis This recording creates atmosphere more than narrative. Features include: vibraphone marimba bamboo percussion bird calls spacious orchestration Rather than attempting authenticity, Denny paints an idealized dreamscape. Today listeners appreciate Exotica both as historical pop culture and as remarkable studio craftsmanship. Song 8 Hypnotique Artist: Martin Denny Background The title track perfectly demonstrates why Martin Denny became synonymous with Exotica. Analysis Everything is carefully layered. shimmering vibraphone Latin percussion jazz harmony tropical ambience The music intentionally slows the listener's pulse. It isn't dance music. It isn't jazz. It isn't Hawaiian. It's its own unique genre. Many modern lounge and ambient artists continue drawing inspiration from recordings like this. Return to Hawaiian Music After our excursion into imagined tropical paradise, we return to the authentic voices of Hawaiʻi. Few groups have influenced modern Hawaiian harmony as profoundly as Hoʻokena. Song 9 ʻUlili E Artist: Hoʻokena Album: Na Kai ʻEwalu Background Hoʻokena helped define contemporary Hawaiian vocal harmony during the late twentieth century. Their singing balances technical excellence with deep cultural respect. Analysis The title references the ʻulili, the wandering tattler shorebird found throughout Hawaiʻi. Birds often symbolize: travelers messengers freedom migration Like many traditional mele, the bird becomes a poetic stand-in for human experience. Hoʻokena's trademark harmony creates extraordinary warmth throughout the performance. Song 10 Roselani Blossoms Artist: Hoʻokena Background One of Hawaiʻi's beloved standards. The roselani rose has long symbolized affection and cherished memories. Analysis Although the melody feels simple, the emotional depth comes through nuanced harmony and expressive phrasing. The song celebrates: enduring love island beauty treasured relationships Hoʻokena's arrangement demonstrates why they remain among the finest Hawaiian vocal ensembles. Every harmony line serves the melody rather than overpowering it. It makes for a graceful conclusion to today's musical journey. Closing Remarks What a wonderful musical voyage today—from the enduring wisdom symbolized by an old Model T, through the cultural legacy of Hōkūleʻa, into songs of family, remembrance, and hope, then across the dreamy soundscapes of Martin Denny's Exotica before returning home with the timeless harmonies of Hoʻokena. These recordings remind us that Hawaiian music is far more than a style. It is a living tradition that preserves language, history, genealogy, and aloha for future generations. Mahalo for joining me for another edition of the Hawaiian Concert Guide. Until next time, mālama pono, cherish the music, support the artists, and keep Hawaiian music playing wherever you are in the world. A hui hou!

Hawaiian Concert Guide – Show 704 Molokaʻi Sweet Home Music of Home, Heritage, Harmony... and a Journey into Exotica This episode of the Hawaiian Concert Guide celebrates one of the most enduring themes in Hawaiian music: love of home ('āina). From the quiet beauty of Molokaʻi to timeless Hawaiian standards, from contemporary voices carrying on the tradition to the fascinating world of mid-century Exotica, Show 704 takes listeners on a musical journey that explores how Hawaiʻi has inspired both those who call it home and those who dreamed of its distant shores. Our featured artists include Ei Nei, Eric Lee, Kaleo Phillips, Martin Denny, and Hoʻokena, creating a program that blends authentic Hawaiian music with historical musical perspectives. Opening Welcome everyone to another edition of the Hawaiian Concert Guide! I'm Piko, and this episode is titled "Molokaʻi Sweet Home." Tonight we're celebrating music rooted deeply in the Hawaiian Islands—songs about home, family, culture, and identity. Along the way we'll step briefly into the fascinating world of Exotica with Martin Denny before returning home again through the beautiful harmonies of Hoʻokena. So let's begin our journey... Ei Nei Molokaʻi Sweet Home Album: Ei Nei, Look At Us The show opens with a heartfelt tribute to one of Hawaiʻi's most beloved islands. Molokaʻi has long been known as the "Friendly Isle," famous for preserving traditional Hawaiian lifestyles and remaining largely untouched by mass tourism. Unlike Waikīkī or Maui's resort communities, Molokaʻi represents old Hawaiʻi—a place where family, fishing, ranching, and community remain central to everyday life. Musically, Ei Nei creates an intimate atmosphere using: rich vocal harmonies acoustic guitars gentle island rhythm restrained production Rather than emphasizing technical virtuosity, the performance allows the lyrics and harmonies to communicate warmth and belonging. The song immediately establishes the central theme of tonight's program: Home isn't simply where you live—it becomes part of who you are. Hiʻilawe (feat. Mālie Lyman) Next comes one of Hawaiian music's enduring classics. "Hiʻilawe" was written by the legendary Samuel Kalāinaina and celebrates the famous Hiʻilawe Falls in Waipiʻo Valley on Hawaiʻi Island. Over the decades it has become one of the most frequently recorded songs in Hawaiian music, interpreted by everyone from Gabby Pahinui to contemporary artists. Ei Nei's version is notable because it avoids trying to reinvent the classic. Instead they focus on: clean vocal blend tasteful acoustic accompaniment respect for traditional melody The addition of Mālie Lyman adds another vocal texture while maintaining the song's traditional character. This performance serves as a reminder that Hawaiian standards continue living through each new generation of musicians. Eric Lee E Ola No Kākou Album: The Islands Are Calling Eric Lee has become one of Hawaiian music's most respected singer-songwriters. "E Ola No Kākou" translates roughly as: "May We All Live" or "Life for All of Us." Rather than focusing on one island or one family, this song expands the show's perspective toward the entire Hawaiian community. Musically we hear: polished contemporary production strong lead vocals layered harmony modern acoustic instrumentation The arrangement remains distinctly Hawaiian while incorporating production values that make it accessible to worldwide audiences. Its message is optimistic, inclusive, and deeply rooted in aloha. Ke ʻAno O Ka Hawaiʻi The title translates as: "The Nature of Hawaiʻi" or "The Character of Hawaiʻi." Although shorter than many songs in today's playlist, it delivers an important cultural statement. Rather than describing scenic beauty alone, the lyrics explore the qualities that define Hawaiian identity: aloha respect tradition community connection to the land Musically it's concise and melodic, functioning almost like a musical reflection between larger works. Kaleo Phillips Ka Lamakū Album: E Mama "Lamakū" literally means torch or beacon. Within Hawaiian symbolism it often represents: guidance knowledge leadership passing wisdom from one generation to another Kaleo Phillips delivers the song with emotional restraint rather than theatrical intensity. His warm vocal style blends naturally with contemporary Hawaiian acoustic arrangements while remaining firmly grounded in traditional musical values. It's another reminder that Hawaiian music often teaches as much as it entertains. Kuʻulei Awapuhi / Magic Island This medley beautifully combines two very different images. The first half celebrates ʻawapuhi, the fragrant wild ginger flower often associated with affection and beauty. The second half shifts geographically to Magic Island, the man-made peninsula adjoining Ala Moana Beach Park on Oʻahu. The transition works surprisingly well because both songs celebrate cherished places through personal memories. Arrangement highlights include: smooth transitions tasteful steel guitar textures flowing rhythmic accompaniment strong ensemble vocals The medley creates a feeling of taking a leisurely drive through the islands, connecting people with places they love. Exotica Segment Tonight's Exotica segment offers an interesting contrast. Where Hawaiian musicians perform music from within the culture, Exotica was largely created by American composers imagining distant tropical paradise. Although not authentically Hawaiian, Exotica became enormously influential during the 1950s and helped introduce millions of listeners to sounds inspired by Polynesia and the South Pacific. Martin Denny On a Little Street in Singapore Album: Hypnotique Martin Denny became known as the father of Exotica. This piece isn't Hawaiian at all—instead it evokes Southeast Asia through a mixture of: vibraphone unusual percussion lounge rhythms atmospheric orchestration Denny's genius wasn't documentary realism. Instead he created musical travel postcards, inviting listeners to imagine distant exotic locations. The recording captures the optimism and fascination with world travel that characterized post-war America. Voodoo Dreams One of the darker tracks in Denny's catalog. Rather than emphasizing melody, this piece builds atmosphere through: tribal percussion dramatic orchestration mysterious harmonies rhythmic tension It's cinematic rather than traditional. Within today's episode, it serves as a fascinating historical contrast before we return to authentic Hawaiian voices. Hoʻokena He Hawaiʻi Au Album: Nā Kai ʻEwalu Few vocal groups have represented modern traditional Hawaiian music more beautifully than Hoʻokena. "He Hawaiʻi Au" simply means: "I Am Hawaiian." This is perhaps the strongest statement of identity in today's playlist. Immediately listeners notice: rich four-part harmonies effortless vocal blend beautiful dynamic control traditional Hawaiian phrasing After the Exotica segment, this recording feels like returning home. The contrast is intentional. Instead of someone imagining Hawaiʻi, we hear Hawaiians singing about themselves. Ka Puʻulena We conclude tonight with another treasured Hawaiian classic. "Ka Puʻulena" has been performed by generations of Hawaiian musicians and remains one of the repertoire's most beloved mele. Hoʻokena's arrangement showcases everything that makes the group exceptional: impeccable harmony emotional sincerity traditional interpretation outstanding ensemble balance Rather than adding unnecessary embellishment, they allow the song's natural beauty to shine. It is a fitting conclusion to an episode centered on home, identity, and cultural continuity. Closing Thoughts Tonight's playlist followed a musical arc that began on Molokaʻi, traveled through contemporary Hawaiian songwriting, paused briefly in the imagined tropical landscapes of Martin Denny's Exotica, and ultimately returned home through the timeless harmonies of Hoʻokena. The contrast reminds us that Hawaiʻi has inspired musicians around the world for generations—but there remains something uniquely powerful about hearing these stories told by those whose roots run deep in the islands. Whether you're listening from Hawaiʻi or halfway around the globe, we hope tonight's music has brought a little aloha into your home. Mahalo for joining us on Hawaiian Concert Guide Show 704. Until next time, mālama pono, and aloha!

Hawaiian Concert Guide Show 703 The Bermuda Triangle Hawaiian Concert Guide Show 703, titled “The Bermuda Triangle”, is structured as a three-point journey through contemporary Hawaiian music, traditional mele, and the stylized mid-century exotica genre. The title reflects this triangular movement—authentic Hawaiian expression, modern interpretation, and the globalized “tiki-era” imagination of island sound. Rather than presenting these as competing styles, this episode places them in dialogue, allowing listeners to hear both contrast and continuity across eras and intentions. The first portion of the show is anchored in contemporary Hawaiian music that remains deeply connected to language, land, and cultural identity. Artists like Ei Nei, Eric Lee, and Kaleo Phillips demonstrate how Hawaiian music continues to evolve while maintaining strong ties to mele traditions, storytelling, and regional pride. The midpoint exotica segment introduces a historical divergence, highlighting how Hawaiian and Pacific imagery was interpreted for global audiences in the mid-20th century. The show ultimately resolves this contrast by returning to the foundational sound of Ho‘okena, whose vocal harmonies and closing oli reconnect the listener with Hawaiian cultural roots. A notable production detail in this episode is the inclusion of material from Eric Lee's album The Islands Are Calling, which features collaborative songwriting contributions, including respected Hawaiian musician and producer Moon Kauakahi. Known for his work with Nā Leo Pilimehana and his influence as a songwriter, arranger, and producer, Moon Kauakahi's involvement adds an additional layer of musical credibility and craftsmanship to the album's compositions. Track-by-Track Reference “Kauikeōlani,” performed by Ei Nei from the album Ei Nei, Look At Us (track 1 of 14, duration 2:18, categorized under Worldwide/Hawaiian contemporary), opens the episode with a composed and reverent tone. Ei Nei is a trio known for its refined vocal harmonies and contemporary production style, often blending Hawaiian language with modern melodic sensibilities. This track functions as a ceremonial introduction, with phrasing and pacing that evoke the structure of a mele inoa, honoring historical and cultural legacy. “Aia I Ka Maui (Ka Maui),” also by Ei Nei from Ei Nei, Look At Us (track 2 of 14, duration 3:15, Worldwide/Hawaiian contemporary), continues with a place-based composition centered on Maui. The song reflects the Hawaiian tradition of mele ʻāina, where land is not simply described but honored as a living entity tied to identity and ancestry. Ei Nei's arrangement balances accessibility with cultural authenticity, making the piece both engaging and meaningful. “The Islands Are Calling,” performed by Eric Lee from the album The Islands Are Calling (track 1 of 10, duration 4:17, Hawaiian genre), introduces a broader melodic structure that leans into contemporary island music while maintaining Hawaiian thematic elements. The song reflects a sense of invitation and connection, often interpreted as a call back to Hawai‘i for those who have left or feel spiritually tied to the islands. The album itself includes collaborative songwriting contributions, with Moon Kauakahi credited as a co-writer on select tracks, reinforcing the project's strong ties to established Hawaiian music traditions. “Hanohano Kilauea Ku I Ka La‘i,” also by Eric Lee from The Islands Are Calling (track 2 of 10, duration 4:02, Hawaiian genre), is a tribute to Kīlauea. The use of the word “hanohano” places the song within the category of praise compositions, aligning with traditional mele that honor significant natural and cultural landmarks. The piece reflects both the physical presence of the volcano and its deeper cultural associations, including its connection to Pele, the Hawaiian deity of fire and volcanoes. “Ka Nani a‘o Ka‘u,” performed by Kaleo Phillips from the album E Mama (track 2 of 13, duration 3:55, Hawaiian genre), highlights the Ka‘ū district of Hawai‘i Island. Kaleo Phillips is recognized for his smooth vocal delivery and emotionally grounded songwriting. This track emphasizes regional pride and the beauty of place, continuing the episode's strong thematic focus on land and identity. “Hilina‘i Mau,” also by Kaleo Phillips from E Mama (track 3 of 13, duration 3:49, Hawaiian genre), provides a reflective and emotionally centered moment in the program. The phrase suggests ongoing trust or reliance, and the song's tone supports this interpretation through its gentle pacing and expressive phrasing. It serves as a transition point before the stylistic shift into exotica. The “Exotica Segment Intro,” credited to pik00 (duration 4:10, categorized as Promo), marks a deliberate transition in the episode. This segment acknowledges a different chapter in the global perception of Hawaiian and Pacific music, one shaped more by imagination and stylization than by cultural authenticity. The intro prepares listeners for this contrast. “Jungle Madness,” performed by :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0} from the album Hypnotique (track 1 of 11, duration 3:35, Exotica genre), is a defining example of the exotica style. Martin Denny is widely regarded as a pioneer of the genre, which emerged in the 1950s and featured layered percussion, environmental sound effects, and an atmospheric approach to composition. While inspired by Pacific imagery, exotica music represents a Western interpretation rather than an authentic Hawaiian tradition. “Wipe Out,” performed by :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1} from the album Hapa Haole with a Twist (track 9, duration 1:04, Exotica genre), offers a brief and energetic surf-style interlude. Les Waikikings, a Belgian group, became known for instrumental surf interpretations with a tropical aesthetic. This track connects the exotica segment with surf rock influences, further illustrating how Hawaiian imagery spread globally in musical form. “Mahukona,” performed by Ho‘okena from the album Ho‘okena 5 (track 14 of 14, duration 4:39, Hawaiian genre), re-centers the episode in authentic Hawaiian music. Ho‘okena is known for its mastery of vocal harmony, including the use of traditional falsetto techniques. The song references Mahukona, a historic harbor area on Hawai‘i Island, continuing the theme of place-based storytelling. “Mele O Nā Kai ‘Ewalu (Oli),” also by Ho‘okena from the album Nā Kai ‘Ewalu (track 1 of 13, duration 1:00, Hawaiian genre), concludes the episode with a chant. As an oli, the performance is unaccompanied and rooted in Hawaiian oral tradition. The title references the “eight seas,” evoking themes of navigation, connection, and heritage. Ending the show with an oli provides a strong cultural resolution, bringing the listener back to the foundational elements of Hawaiian identity. Mahalo for joining us for Hawaiian Concert Guide Show 703, “The Bermuda Triangle.” This episode demonstrates how Hawaiian music exists across multiple dimensions—traditional, contemporary, and interpreted—while always maintaining a core connection to land, language, and culture.

A longstanding, driving force within the Italian underground and the wider world of contemporary psychedelic music, Lay Llamas celebrates the release of the project's new album 'Time, Islands and Thresholds' with a mesmerizing mix for our main series. Nicola Giunta has been leading the psych brigade under the Lay Llamas banner for well over a decade. Formed in 2012, the project has since released an entrancing, ever-evolving body of work across indispensable labels including Rocket Recordings and Black Sweat Records, collaborating with the likes of Goat, Clinic, Damo Suzuki (Can), and Mark Stewart (The Pop Group) along the way. With new album ‘Time, Islands and Thresholds‘, Lay Llamas heads out on a spellbinding, synapse-fried voyage that evokes hallucinatory visions in mysterious, exotic lands. Across ten tracks, hypnagogic psychedelia is masterfully laced with cosmic dub, space rock, and the kind of music you might hear on records by Eden Ahbez and Martin Denny. Describing the imagery and existential trajectory that underpins the record, Giunta references “surfers on acid, mysterious rites on deserted islands, worshippers of solar deities, night flights, animal skins, will-o'-the-wisps on hilltops, liminal spaces, passages into the underworld, psychic inner journeys; life, death and rebirth.” ‘Time, Islands and Thresholds‘ then, is a record of heady, retrofuturist iconography and into-the-void introspection. Drawing parallels with Spacemen 3, Peaking Lights and Sun Araw, it's an album that nevertheless finds Lay Llamas plotting the project's own psychotropic course. The album finale ‘I Was Blind (Now It's Over)‘ is also one of the most beautifully strung out songs we've heard this year. To accompany the release of the album, Giunta has put together a suitably potent mix of hypnotic drum trances, heavyweight dub, snarling noir-punk and rarefied psych to liven up, expand and soothe your soul. Settle in for a special one.

This week's episode takes us behind the scenes of an independent record label and record store out of Portland, Oregon: Jackpot Records, with its founder Isaac Slusarenko. He opened the store in 1997 as a place that was all about music, no T-shirts or candles. He launched the label in 2004 with a vinyl edition of the 1971 self-titled psychedelic soul album by Beauregard, a Portland wrestler, followed by albums by local rockers the Wipers. With repeat Caropop guest Kevin Grey providing the all-analog mastering then and now, the label offers Record Store Day treasures (Gandalf!) while releasing higher-profile titles by the Meters, Booker T. and the M.G.'s, Etta James, the Electric Prunes, Bill Evans, Martin Denny and others. How does the licensing of albums work? How does Slusarenko make his Jackpot pressings stand out? How important are the cover art, colored vinyl and limited editions? Slusarenko pulls back the curtains.

For a lot of people with contemporary tastes, exotica only equates to easy listening. Understandably so, since in the modern era it may strike first time listeners as muzak, elevator vapidity…jazz sans soul. But when you strip those biases and revisit the movement that began with the likes of Martin Denny and Les Baxter, you […] The post Kolumbo: “Spin the Bottle” appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.

Slechts weinig filmcomponisten kunnen zoveel verschillende genres aan als Michael Giacchino. Een ware Pixar-legende (‘The Incredible', ‘Up', ‘Ratatouille', ‘Inside Out', ‘Coco'), maar ook Disney-vertrouwde (‘Zootropolis', ‘Tomorrowland') en muziekleverancier van andere afdelingen van het moedermerk (‘Alias', ‘Lost', ‘Rogue One: A Star Wars Story', ‘Marvel's Doctor Strange' en de aangekondigde ‘The Fantastic Four: First Steps'). Hij maakte zelfs muziek voor Disneyland: ‘Space Mountain: Mission 2'. Sinds enkele jaren is het prachtige 'Married Life' uit ‘Up' in een ragtimeversie te horen in Main Street, U.S.A. van het park. En voor zijn nieuwe album ‘Exotic Themes for the Silver Screen - Volume One' stak hij heel wat van zijn bekende melodieën in een exotica jasje. Exoti-wat? Exotica is een muziekgenre, genoemd naar het gelijknamige album van Martin Denny uit 1957 dat in de jaren vijftig tot midden jaren zestig populair was bij Amerikanen. Het doet wegdromen naar tropische eilanden en bijbehorende tiki-cocktails. En dat kan nu dus op de tonen van filmmuziek van Giacchino.

Liberty Records was founded in 1955 by Simon Waronker after his cousin, Herb Newman, suggested they go into the record business. The early years found the label in the deep end of easy listening pop with the likes of Julie London, novelty music featuring The Chipmunks, Patience and Prudence, Martin Denny, and Henry Mancini. But rock n' roll was hitting its stride, and in the late fifties they released a blend of pure rock and rockabilly with Eddie Cochran. But the 60s found a more tame version with hitmakers like Bobby Vee, Johnny Burnette, Timi Yuro, Buddy Knox, and the post-Buddy Holly Crickets. At the peak of it's hit-making machine the whole lot was sold to an umbrella company that also featured the catalogs of Imperial, Aladdin, Minit, and Dolton…we'll share a host of Liberty releases with you in the show today. With the exception of Eddie Cochran, we'll just call it rock ‘n roll ‘lite'.

No hay nada más lejos del ideal del hombre común y corriente que ser siervos, dice Samuel Escobar, pero en la revolución que Jesús trae al mundo, "el espíritu de Cristo ha inspirado algunas de las instituciones de servicio más conocidas en el mundo". Nacen cuando la Iglesia sigue el modelo del Hijo del Hombre, que "no vino para ser servido, sino para servir y dar su vida en rescate por muchos" (Mateo 20:28). Martin Denny (1911-2005) es conocido como "el padre de la música exótica", un curioso tipo de "música de salón", muy popular en Estados Unidos en los años 50 y principios de los 60. Escuchamos su peculiar versión de nuestra sintonía, "Ruta 66", al comienzo de nuestra parada en este viaje, pensando en las palabras de Jesús en los vv. 17-19 de Mateo 20. Seguimos con otra versión, la que ha hecho ahora la sevillana Lole Montoya de una canción de Luis Alfredo en los años 80, "No Credo", el cantautor uruguayo con el que comenzó José de Segovia en Radio Popular FM. Otro artista que se mueve en el mundo católico, pero es de origen protestante es Aaron Neville. Al separarse de sus hermanos, el mestizo cantante de Nueva Orleans no esconde ya su fe en canciones como "Jesús, Jesús, Jesús" del disco "Cree" (2003). Tiene el valor con el que Bob Dylan decía en 1979 que "Tienes que creer en alguien / Puede ser el diablo o puede ser el Señor / pero tienes que creer en alguien". La escuchamos esta vez en la versión de la cantante afroamericana Shirley Caesar, que lleva siete décadas haciendo gospel. Es patético que ante el ejemplo del Rey/Siervo, sus discípulos no hacen otra cosa que discutir sobre quién es el más grande (vv. 20-28). Esa lucha de poder en nombre de la familia y la religión está muy bien representada en la película de Paul Thomas Anderson que se conoce en España como "Pozos de ambición" y en Hispanoamérica como "Petróleo sangriento", pero que en realidad se llama "Habrá sangre" (2007). Basada en "la gran novela americana" de Upton Sinclair, enfrenta a un petrolero con un predicador en la formación del "sueño americano", que se vuelve en una verdadera pesadilla. Escuchamos escenas del principio de la película, que José comenta con la banda sonora original del guitarrista de Radiohead, Jonny Greenwood y fragmentos instrumentales del propio Anderson en "Magnolia". El duro cuadro que nos presenta Jesús hace que nos veamos como en un espejo. "¿Encuentras a ese pequeño dictador que vive en tu sótano? ¿No quieres dar un golpe de estado para quitar a ese idiota?", pregunta el músico inglés Graham Parker, ya sin The Rumour en su canción "¡Mirate a ti mismo! (1995). El grupo canadiense de "rock duro" Servant llevó con orgullo el título cristiano de Siervo desde su disco de presentación en 1976, tras su formación en una comunidad "hippy" cristiana bajo la dirección del ya fallecido pastor de la Gente de Jesús, Jim Polassari. José conoció a la cantante, así como a Larry Norman (1947-2008), que escuchamos en una de sus más honestas y emocionantes composiciones, grabada ese mismo año, "Soy un siervo"...

"CAPTAIN BILLY’S MAGIC 8 BALL" -"NO STRANGER TO PARADISE" FEATURING THE ALBUM "QUIET VILLAGE" BY THE MARTIN DENNY IN HIGH DEF WITH NARRATIVE - EPISODE # 68

I’ve never been shy about my love of jazz, pretty much every style across the spectrum, save Dixieland (sorry, not sorry). One of my all-time favorite sub-genres out of that bunch is Exotica, the Latin-leaning, arrangement-driven “easy listening” style made famous by Martin Denny in the ’50s. Now, I know I’m far from the only […]

Martin Denny was an American pianist and composer best known as the father of "exotica" during the Golden Days of Radio.

Firsthand account right here! Honoluluʻs Chinatown was hopping with great players at Two Jacks, the Swing Club, and Brown Derby, where Louis Armstrong performed. In this interview, drummer Harold Chang talks about how military bands changed the scene, and how Hawaiian swing evolved. Pua Almeida, Richard Kauhi, Sonny Kamaka, Martin Denny, Chang played with the greats as part of Hawaiʻiʻs pumping music scene after WWII. Harold Chang is primarily known for his role in the Arthur Lyman Group. Their first album, Taboo, made the Billboard national Top Ten in 1959. They recorded dozens of albums and won three gold records. Their brand of jazz inflected Exotica had a heyday through the 1960ʻs, when "tikis" and "tiki bars" sprang up all over the world. By the 1970ʻs, folk and rock entered the picture and Exotica slid into disco-inflected crossovers. An exotica revival was reported in the 1990ʻs, and pockets of aficionados bide their time. For us, the social history is the juiciest part here. Weʻre getting an eye opening picture of the post-World War II entertainment scene in our Honolulu. Mahalo, again to todayʻs musicians, all Hawaiʻi based, as usual. In the Don Tiki band, Hae Jung and Sherry Shaoling, mahalo for delivering those crisply seductive vocals. Thanks so much, for what you do, Roger Bong of Aloha got Soul!!! Debbie Yeoh, mahalo for tactical support! If anyone out there knows the name of a woman who produced a video called Swingtime in Honolulu for PBS, Harold would like to know. We were looking at her reference materials doing this interview. You can email me at noe@noetanigawa.com. Also, if you know about Richard Kauhiʻs life and career, especially on the U.S. continent, drop me a line! Song List HOT LIKE LAVA. Don Tiki.

Peace! https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=5E6WCP8KAS4NG Electrica Selvatica is a folkloric EDM music genre of pre-Columbian influence. EDM stands for electronic dance music, dance music, club music. In Electrica Selvatica, Latin American Magical Realism meets music, returning the power of mysticism, indigenism to music through anecdotal stories with a touch of magic, under a theme that flows between cosmic, exotic, wild scenarios. Journeys through galaxies, through the multiform explosions of the Latin American universe. All combined with tropical winks, baptized by some as a tribute to Space/Jungle music. The Electrica Selvatica is a musical phenomenon that is crossing the Web in a disruptive way and we believe it is linked by a red thread that in the '50s Martin Denny began to weave with Exotica Music. Born in New York, Martin Denny was involved in many big band tours in the 1930s, served in the Army Air Corps during World War II, and in the mid-1950s found himself in Hawaii playing at the Hawaiian Village Hotel in Waikiki. His group, a quartet that also included Arthur Lyman on vibraphone, played around a hotel pool in a natural setting, performing long arrangements of folk songs with one or two instruments typical from Hawaii and places in Asia and the South Pacific, such as conch shells, Indonesian and Burmese gongs, Japanese kotos, and boobams. - Join my Facebook Group Meditation Mindfulness Yoga Mantra https://www.facebook.com/groups/642191676459430 - Here my short stories about Kindness (I giorni della gentilezza- Paperback - Italian version)- https://tinyurl.com/3vfud2c9 - Here my book Learn Māori Culture and Proverbs (paperback) tinyurl.com/6zmvz9tt - Version with Full Color Images - www.amazon.com/Learn-M%C4%81ori-…1621334435&sr=8-3 - Poster Maramataka: tinyurl.com/pht4easb - Here my book dedicated to Lo-Fi Music (ebook and paperback), tinyurl.com/r2d69dyb - on Amazon USA, UK, INDIA, JAPAN, GERMANY, BRAZIL and other countries. - Here my book Black Book Note www.amazon.com/BLACK-BOOK-NOTE-i…32&s=books&sr=1-1 - Here my book with illustrated philosophical short stories (ebook and paperback), https://tinyurl.com/mfyd4vk7 - on Amazon USA, UK, INDIA, JAPAN, GERMANY, BRAZIL and other countries.

Then we will chat about Permanent Vacation my new book that hopes to make you feel as fine as a mystery solved by Hawaii 5-0. Shout out to Dusty Groove a GREAT record store you need to go crate digging in!

Last year I kept encountering more and more ska music that was rather, for lack of a better term, lounge-y. I've always been a fan of Martin Denny and exotica lounge stuff, as well as the more popular stuff by Nelson Riddle, and even more modern throwbacks like Tipsy and the Pizzicato Five. So I kept updating a playlist labeled "Lounge Type Ska" as 2020 rolled on, and when I had more than enough songs I tried my hand at getting them assembled into this episode. It's not a dancing episode, it's a relaxing episode, so sit down and raise a glass, you've earned it. 00:00 - the Magnetics - Campari (Cocktails & Fairytales Vol. 2 '20) 02:48 - charlot - メランコリア (メランコリア / What is going on 'round you?

This week’s Deeper Roots takes an historical journey into a sidelight of America’s music: Exotica. The music was a phenomenon mostly attributed to a popularity born of World War II; servicemen returning from the South Seas, Hawaii, and other Asian locales had been exposed to the music and culture. Post-war found two composers who nurtured this sudden boom of south sea influences: Les Baxter and Martin Denny, both releasing groundbreaking popular performances that were an instant success. Even though these two composers were among a small cast of characters, like any popular American music that showed legs on the charts, their sound led to copy-cats and variations on the theme that were too eclectic to pigeonhole and today’s show will tap into a few of those nooks and crannies. It’s all in good fun with wild and sensual sounds from the lounge of mid-century performers like Arthur Lyman, Yma Sumac, Peggy Lee, and 80 Drums Around the World. We’ll also dig into some novel easy listening sounds from the deeper, dustier archives, retooled for a new generation by the Numero Group on their anthology called Technicolor Paradise, release in 2018. Join the rest of the castaways on our two hour tour this week on Sonoma County Community Radio.

Grab your matini's because this week Dr. Kirsten Zemke is taking us into the world of Space Age Bachelor Pad Music. Featuring Juan Garcia Esquivel's Surfboard, Martin Denny's Hypnotique, and Yma Sumac's Gopher.

Relax in the Penthouse with Koop as he spins an evening of Les Baxter as programmed by James Spencer who recently wrote a book about the great musician https://www.amazon.com/Baxter-James-Spencer/dp/1530961203   LES BAXTER is the first published biography to examine a detailed history of composer and musician Leslie Thompson Baxter. One of Capitol Record's most prominent artists, Les had 35 hits and 11 album hits in a career that expanded nearly fifty years. Les is one of America's most influential, innovative and unique composers of of the 20th century. He is the father of Exotica, Space-Age Bachelor Music, and his experimental and innovative film scores set the standards for the genres of horror, sci-fi, westerns, and teen-age beach movies. The biography was researched over twenty years and includes rare interviews by Skip Heller, a protege who studied and was companion to Les during the last few years of his life. James Spencer, musicologist, concert pianist and recording artist became friends with Les Baxter in 1991 and documents the last five years of Les' life until his death in January of 1996.

Lost in the "vaults" is more like it. This show was popular in it's first appearance in 2010 and has had a couple resurrections since then. So, bringing it back yet again, you know to give the people what they want. ~Mr. Suave, 2024In the early 90s there was a bubbling up of cocktail music coming from the unsorted Goodwill record bins all the way to the dusty film music libraries of long dead or dormant record labels. Like a slow burn it crackled and hissed its way from one hi-fi set to the next, reviving memories of the yesteryear of 50s and 60s music, mostly amongst folks (like yours truly) just a tad to young to actually have such memories.In 1993 a little book called Incredibly Strange Music Volume 1 accompanied by a CD compilation arrived to little fanfare. Like they say it only takes a spark. The fire that got going not only included an explosion of lounge music compilations (multiple volumes of Music For a Bachelor's Den, the Beat at Cinnecita and Easy Tempo series, and the grand-daddy of lounge mixes, Capitol's Ultra-Lounge series which is still going strong) but also original acts like Love Jones and Combustible Edisonwho were echoing the smooth, suave, and sometimes silly and screwy, sounds of Esquivel, Martin Denny, Les Baxterand even Burt Bacharach and The Rat Pack among others. The lounge revival was in full swing, complete with it's own movie, Swingers. And later it's own parody, Austin Powers.It's not surprising that mods like myself, lovers of all things 60s, grew up and into the lounge revival. The music evokes some of the best aspects of 60s culture above and beyond the typical British Invasion, soul, and garage rock sounds most mods were weened on.Joining me on this week's loungecast is loungemaster extraordinaire, Ken from The Shingles, a long time mod friend, and he who is guilty of turning me on to the sounds of the cocktail nation all the way back in the early 90s. Here then is our primer on lounge music with a few better known tracks, some lesser lights, some easy listening, and some more jazzy stuff. Overall this is as good a lounge sampler as you might stumble across anywhere.And, for those so inclined here are a few recommendations for what to spin during your next cocktail hour.As always, swing by the swank place, www.mistersuave.com for a complete track list and bonus videos.
