Longtime musician Martin Denny dies

By Associated Press

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.
