Arthur Lyman - Taboo! '2019

Tracks list

After graduating from McKinley High School in 1951, he put music on hold to work
as a desk clerk at the Halekulani hotel. It was there in 1954 that he met
pianist Martin Denny, who, after hearing him play, offered the 21-year-old a
spot in his band. Initially wary, Lyman was persuaded by the numbers: he was
making $280 a month as a clerk, and Denny promised more than $100 a week. Denny
had been brought to Hawaii in January on contract by Don the Beachcomber, and
stayed in Hawaii to play nightly in the Shell Bar at the Hawaiian Village. Other
members of his band were Augie Colon on percussion and John Kramer on string
bass. Denny, who had traveled widely, had collected numerous exotic instruments
from all over the world and liked to use them to spice up his jazz arrangements
of popular songs. The stage of the Shell Bar was very exotic, with a little pool
of water right outside the bandstand, and rocks and palm trees growing around.
One night Lyman had had a little to drink, and when they began playing the theme
from Vera Cruz, Lyman let out a few bird calls. The next thing you know, the
audience started to answer me back with all kinds of weird cries. It was great.
These bird calls became a trademark of Lymans sound.
