HONOLULU (AP) Longtime musician Martin Denny, who was known for his unique exotic sound, died yesterday at his Hawaii Kai home. He was 94.
Denny created a sound that he described as a fusion of Asian, South Pacific, American jazz, Latin American and classical. He was particularly known for his song and album entitled ``Quiet Village.''
Musicians Association of Hawaii president Michael Largarticha says the world has lost one of its great popular musicians. He says Denny was active and performing until just shortly before his death.
Largarticha says Denny had a good life and a long and very successful career.
