DESCRIPTION:
Arthur Lyman ( Honolulu Hawaii 1932 - 2002 ) well known for his Exotic Jazz Lounge style , was a great musician and bandleader . His first recordings were in the Cool Jazz style and after his collaboration with Martin Denny he finally created his very own style , excelling in moody Vibraphone /Marimba dominated modern Hawaiian Jazz..
Adventures was originally composed by Lionel Newman , a member of a great composers dynasty . It was created as TV theme for the popular TV series , wich is introduced in this video at the first 17 seconds .The first series ran from 1958 till 1961.
Lyman recorded "Adventures " in 1961 on the Ryckodisc label.It was part of the famous Yellow Bird album.
Starring in this video are also some guest stars from the TV series back then.
The eclectic sound of Lyman's music justifys a good audiosystem , or the use of headphones.These records were produced by the sound engineer Richard Vaughn in the beginning day's of stereo recording , and were quite inventive in those day's.
