, the drummer and upright bassist in the “Marty & Elayne” act that entertained at the Dresden Lounge in Los Feliz for 35 years, has died. No age or cause of death was immediately available.
Born in New York City, Marty met Elayne in L.A. in the ’70s. Their gig at the Dresden started in 1981, and quickly grew into a thing for the area’s hipsters, who enjoyed the drums and piano vibe and often joined in for a song or two. Their mix of jazz standards and loungey takes on pop music became such a cult classic that Jon Favreau used them in his 1996 Los Feliz-centric film,and they were often joined by such celebs as Flea, Julia Roberts and David Lynch, among others.
