Description: Arthur Lyman – Taboo - The Exotic Sounds Of Arthur Lyman LP Exotica/Lounge Archival SleeveThe bird Squawks Chirps Croaks Ocean and whatever else makes this unique and exotic ...fantastic Lyman's debut album, recorded shortly after he left Martin Denny's group, was almost as popular as the concurrent releases by his former mentor, reaching the Top Ten. Lyman has a slightly sedate, jazzier sound, though he too uses a wide variety of ethnic instruments, percussions, and bird calls. Having been inspired by the vivid bird calls of his then-bandmate Augie Colón, Taboo is the first album to contain Lyman's take on croaking, chirping and squawking. The band members remain the same as on his debut: John Kramerplays a variety of string and percussion instruments and supports Lyman with additional bird calls, Alan Soares is the pianist and second percussionist, with Harold Chang being the third percussion meister and xylophone player. Taboo features twelve renditions of well-known songs, with the occasional surprise and traditional song thrown in for good measure. 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 1950s and 1960s 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 soundstage. Lyman was known as "the King of Lounge music."
