"This is my all-time FAVE Arthur Lyman album, and Mr. Lyman is my all-time favorite musician from the "Exotica-Trio" (Martin Denny, Arthur Lyman, Les Baxter)This CD is a must-have. I've listened to it 10,000 times and I still love to hear that first track starting up. Great stuff. I was lucky enough to meet Mr. Lyman in Hawaii, (where he still plays his Vibes every Friday at the New Otani Hotel!) he's a great entertainer, and i highly recommend checking him out- he still looks great, and nothing beats sipping a mai-tai while overlooking waikiki beach listening to the "Exotic Sounds of Arthur Lyman"!(june 20, 2002 - unfortunately Arthur has passed. He will be missed, but do yourself a favor and invite him into your living room today by listening to this CD)"

"I've been looking for this album for over 25 years and to find it on a CD was a dream come true. Thank you Amazon. I had listened to this album over 35 years ago and fell in love with the Lyman sound. Being a fan of Dave Brubeck,I found the sounds to be very close and enjoyed it immensely. Anyone who is a fan of the Lyman sound should have this in their collection."

Beautiful Music from a Beautiful Man

"Arthur Lyman was an amazing gentle talented person. His gentle touch on the marimba & vibes could transform you to the islands or to the stage or whatever genre the song represented. And his warm voice could gently envelope you. Truly beautiful music from a beautiful man. He will be missed."
