Martin Denny - Primitiva

Martin Denny - Primitiva*Originally released in 1958, Primitiva is a rhythmically rich and inimitably exotic Martin Denny experience. Reissued by Jackpot Records on limited edition ocean blue color vinyl, Primitiva highlights the burgeoning sound of '50s exotica music, with Denny's diverse soundscape ranging from vibraphones and marimbas, to Burmese gongs and Buddhist prayer bowls.
