Product Description
Artists send us recordings all the time for reissue on our label, but most of the time either the artist or the album is too obscure even for us. But when a CD from Martin Denny, the exotica king himself, made its way to our office, we sat up and took notice! And then we fell in love…for this recording, made of a September, 1964 concert given at the Elmendorf Air Force Base in Anchorage, Alaska (hence the 'Baked Alaska' title), represents *Martin’s only live recording* and an utterly charming one at that. Jazzy, exotic (how DID they pull off those birdcalls live, anyway?) and imbued with a very warm Hawaiian vibe in the coldest of places, this is not just a piece of history but a great listen as well. It’s got a few rough spots as live recordings sometimes do, but even that struck us as appealing, in line with the homespun graphics and notes that Martin himself supplied. Martin’s still going strong at age 92, by the way…here’s a priceless glimpse of the man performing with his band in his prime. Another one-of-a-kind 'Collectors’ Choice Music' exclusive!
