Arthur Lyman – The Exotic Sounds of Arthur Lyman - featuring Yellow Bird and Taboo


 Arthur Hunt Lyman (February 2, 1932 – February 24, 2002) was a Hawaiian jazz vibraphone and marimba player. His group popularized a style of faux-Polynesian music during the 1950's and 1960's which later became known as Exotica. His albums became favorite stereo-effect demonstration discs during the early days of the stereophonic LP album for their elaborate and colorful percussion, deep bass and 3-dimensional recording sound-stage. Lyman was known as "The King of Lounge music."
