Oh baby you know what I like! Arthur Lyman even surpasses Martin Denny in the exotic islands/bachelor pad style. I have every cd of both magnificent artists from the fifties. This is the great mental transport time-capsule back to the good days and this cd is some best of the bachelor pad series for the serious romantic exotic islands collector. A must, esp good when mixed with Arabian and downtempo lounge jazz with some mambo thrown in.

This album typifies Arthur Lyman and gives evidence as to why he was so popular in the 50's and 60's. His music, a blend of jazz, Hawaiian music and "exotica," is still treasured by those of us who are addictd to the melding of jungle sounds, bird calls, and Hawaiian music. The next time you host a BBQ, light your tiki torches, put on Arthur Lyman, and turn your BBQ into a Luau!

I think I was born in the wrong era! This is a great CD and so much fun to listen to. I also bought several CD's from the Ultra Lounge series. Another great purchase. Thanks Amazon for grouping similar items together, or I never would have found this CD!

Yellow Bird by the Arthur Lyman Group is a sparkling diamond. It is intricate, gentle, wistful, magical, possibly the most beautiful instrumental ever to hit the charts. This magic couldn't be sustained by anyone. You can't produce the most beautiful recording of the year a dozen or more times on an album. The rest of the songs are pretty ok too.
