We are heartbroken, the greatest man alive has gone on to Heaven, she wrote.
Marty and his wife, Elayne, worked the Dresden six night a week for more than 40 years.

RIP Marty, whose Marty & Elayne was an essential LA go-to.
Campy & eccentric, but always cool.
As David Lynch told them “thank you for bringing jazz standards to a new generation.”
He wanted to make people smile & never failed.
Elayne, I am so sorry for your loss.
Marty, may you Rest In Peace.
All my love Kiefer.
