From the back cover: It's evening, and a tropical stockade on a side street, surrounded by blazing luau torches, magnetizes your fancy, drawing you toward it. At the head of the street you can cross the bridged threshold of Duke Kahanamoku's where the Martin Deny group plays. The jungle effect with rainfall reminds you of a well-kept Somerset Maugham island outpost. Inside, where the promise of a tropical paradise is fulfilled, you quench your thirst admiring the grace of orchids petals, inches from your nose, and await the magic sounds of Polynesia.
The sounds, the mood, the thrill of being on-the-scene, in-person with Martin Denny at fabulous Duke Kahanamoku's in Hawaii are yours simply with the playing of this album. Martin Denny has captured all of the magic of his beloved Islands in this album of all-time tropical favorites and he brings it home to you In-Person.

Dear Mark, first i want to congratulate your disc collection and the quality of your blogs, I have visited them all and you really took much work, I believe that the satisfactions will be many. I write to you from Buenos Aires, I am collector also but in Argentina is not easy to obtain music from the USA, sometimes the old discs are not published here. This is the case of Martin Denny, I am a true admirer of the music of Denny, will exist some way to obtain "In Person" I have looked for long time and cant't obtain it, what you can do I will appreciate. greetings from Argentina.
