A notice to all Martin Denny lovers. Vocalion has just released two two-fer CDs of Denny Albums--A Taste of Honey (1962)/Another Taste of Honey (1963) and The Versatile Martin Denny (1963)/Latin Village (1964). Three of these have never been issued on CD and the other, Latin Village, was only issued in a high-priced Japanese paper sleeve limited edition. This are available as of last weekend on Amazon and Dusty Groove.
A Taste of Honey was Denny's second highest charting album and the title tune was his only charting single of the 1960s. Latin Village is a personal favorite of mine with Denny's version of The Girl from Ipanema and Flying Down to Rio. Another favorite is The Versatile Martin Denny with the sublime Exotique Bossa Nova. There's definitely a real bossa feel through out these albums, especially the latter pair of albums.
