Arthur Lyman - Hawaiian Sunset (1959)
Time to take a trip to Hawaii - musically, that is! Well, here's a great album by Arthur Lyman, one of the masters of exotica. The music is absolutely wonderful. Close your eyes and listen to this album and you'll be transported to paradise, the Hawaiian Islands, where "the native art of living gracefully, simply and happily seems to extend to all who visit or stay."

Somehow I never had Hawaiian Sunset - Volume II was blogged years ago by the now defunct Moon of Mankoora.
Thanks much!
Thanks for adding another LP to my Hawaii-Exotica collection.

I have some other Lyman albums. I was surprised and amazed to find out that one of the guys in the band made all those bird/animal noises!
