  • Afro-Desia sees Exotica luminary and pianist Martin Denny (1911–2005) venture into African landmarks shrouded in mystery. Recorded in Hollywood, released in 1959 on Liberty Records and realized with the help of percussionist and birdcaller August “Augie” Colón, mallet instrumentalist Julius Wechter, bassist Harvey Ragsdale as well as a more than prominent omnipresence of the Randy Van Horne Singers who take over the task of the Jack Halloran Singers off Denny’s Asian dreamscape Hypnotique (1959) to great success, Afro-Desia presents 12 compositions, three of them co-written by Martin Denny, and one of these three being possibly the most-feared and usually avoided take of all times; it’s the arrangement, baby!
