	Arthur Lyman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Arthur Lyman (February 2, 1932 - February 24, 2002) popularized a jazzy style of Hawaiian music during the 1950s, and gathered a following as a purveyor of so-called exotic music or Exotica.
		As a child, Lyman moved to the large Hawaiian city of Honolulu, where he became interested in the music of Benny Goodman and Lionel Hampton.
		Lyman's last charting album in 1963 was I Wish You Love, but his music enjoyed a new burst of popularity in the 1990s with the easy listening revival.

		Lyman's family moved to Honolulu after his father was blinded in an accident.
		Lyman's style was softer than Denny's, but he went much further in his use of exotic environmental sounds.
		Lyman's many friends and fans said their final farewell by paddling canoes out from Waikiki to scatter his ashes upon the waters of Honolulu Bay.

		Lyman eventually released more than 30 albums, several of which were recorded with sophisticated hi-fi equipment in the space-agey geodesic Henry J. Kaiser Aluminum Dome in the Hawaiian Village Hotel.
		In the 1950s and early 60s, Arthur Lyman's music struck a chord with the WWII GI's who returned from the war with a taste for the exotic, and he helped Hawaii come to the foreground of America's consciousness as it was gaining its statehood.
		Unfortunately, Arthur Lyman lost his battle with throat cancer at the end of February, at the age of 70.

	Hi-Fi Hawaii
		Arthur Lyman formed his group in 1957, after a two-year gig with Martin Denny, enlisting the multi-instrumental talents of fellow islanders John Kramer, Alan Soares and Harold Chang.
		Lyman's repertoire on this album is extensive, ranging from the Duke Ellington classic "Caravan" to the traditional Filipino folk song "Dahil Sayo." Other highlights include the quiet lyricism of "Sea Breeze" (complete with real Pacific Ocean sounds) and a laid-back rendition of "Misirlou" that out-cools the Pulp Fiction soundtrack by a long shot.
		Lyman packed each show with a barrage of sound and songs — despite the Hilton's highly commercial atmosphere, Lyman's shows were always about the music.

		Lyman didn't stay with Denny for long, however, leaving the ensemble in 1957 to start a solo career that was nearly as successful as Denny's.
		Lyman also had a few hit singles, with "Taboo" and "Love For Sale" reaching the middle of the charts, and "Yellow Bird" (the only big exotica hit besides Denny's "Quiet Village") making #4 in 1961.
		Like Denny (though to a lesser extent), Lyman experienced a resurgence in popularity in the 1990s, when the space age pop revival made it acceptable to drag out his old LPs and sit in tiki bars again.

	Friends mourn 'Yellow Bird' Lyman - The Honolulu Advertiser - Hawaii's Newspaper
		And just as Arthur "Ata" Lyman used to play their favorite tunes when pals would walk into Don the Beachcomber or the Shell Bar in Hilton Hawaiian Village, so 500 friends and family honored the late master of mood music with his signature song at a memorial yesterday at the Honolulu Elks Club.
		Born on Kaua'i in 1932, Lyman was the youngest son of a janitor and a blind man. His father fostered Lyman's musical career by locking him in a room with a toy xylophone and a bunch of Benny Goodman records and telling him to get all of Lionel Hampton's notes right.
		Martin Denny, the musician who hired Lyman out of a hotel clerk job to record the breakthrough "Exotica" and "Quiet Village" with his band, said yesterday Lyman was a superb jazz musician who could imitate Hampton to the note, but sounded more like the softer, subtler George Shearing.

		Lyman is one of the masters of exotica, and this is supreme Hawaiian lounge music, performed as quietly as possible.
		Lyman's vibraphone sounds attractive but the melody of each tune never takes hold because all you want to do is fall for the mood of the music rather than the song itself.
		Arthur Lyman was not only an amazing musician (as Martin Denny once said, "definitely the best vibes player in the islands if not the world"), but he was a beautiful person as well.

		Was just wondering if Arthur Lyman, the founder of the Arthur Lyman Group, would meet the requirements for consideration into the Hall of Fame.
		His beautiful mellow instrumental music certainly defined Hawai'i in the 50's & 60's for millions of people.
		Lyman also played in the Exotic Sounds of Martin Denny, plus he did some amazing bongo cuts, like "Bwana' a".

		When Arthur left the group after two years in 1957 he formed his own group and he called me and I joined him in 1958.
		I had another job at night and rehearsed with Arthur during the day to open up at the Shell Bar in the Hawaiian Village.
		Eventually I think Arthur was one of the first groups that went into a group format.

		Arthur quickly went on to form his own group, and released the hugely successful "Taboo" in 1958.

		Among the occasional oddities that comprise Christmas music, Arthur Lyman's With a Christmas Vibe almost stands out by itself--and could well be the inspiration for that wacky Toolbox Christmas.
		Lyman plays it straight on most of the pieces, but the vibraphone tends to cast its own spells.
		As I am a long-time Arthur Lyman fan, I certainly like the music, but I rate this CD low because of the poor audio track editing.

		TABOO showcases Lyman's distinctive vibe playing while conjuring images of the islands through his use of bird calls and Harold Chang's percussion on congas, boobams, ass's jaw and conch shell, among other instruments.
		Aided by Allen Soares on piano and John Kramer on string bass, Lyman's sound was immensely popular.
		As it featured the same cover image as TABOO, it is often mistaken for the CD reissue of Lyman's debut album.

		Soon after Tiki combo leader and pianist Martin Denny scored a smash hit with EXOTICA in 1957, his vibraphonist Arthur Lyman, who unlike Denny really was Hawaiian, struck out on his own to ply his wares in the newly lucrative exotica market.
		Plus, Lyman's virtuosity enabled him to sometimes improvise at something near full speed, close to the pace of a credible jazz player, though he wouldn't win any cutting contests with Milt Jackson.
