Music reviews of Music for a Bachelor's Den, Volume 5: The Best of the Arthur Lyman Group
Music Review: Picture yourself on a beautiful South Pacific island--with a mainland jazz band imported just for you !!!
Rating: 4 Stars
The Arthur Lyman Group produced some of the greatest lounge music of the 1950s and 1960s. This CD contains 18 tracks of very good music to show us why The Arthur Lyman Group achieved such popularity.
The CD starts with "Taboo." The horns open up into a musical arrangement that highlights the percussion, guitar, piano and numerous other percussion instruments. The melody gathers steam; and the only thing I definitely didn't like was the bird sounds sprinkled throughout this number and other numbers on this CD. Otherwise "Taboo" proves to be a solid opener for this CD. "Love For Sale" is track number two; and the melody is so beautiful and infectiously catchy and upbeat that you will be stunned if you haven't heard this number before! The piano and percussion do a great job on "Love For Sale." How elegant!
"Fascination" begins with the xylophone and chimes. Other instruments then join in to make this an elegant, slow paced number. "Fascination" will make you want to grab your sweetheart and slow dance all around the living room! SMILES The piano comes in midway through "Fascination" which infuses this instrumental ballad with a continental flair all its own.
"Hava Nagila" is another catchy track on this CD. The flute and percussion carry the opening of the musical arrangement; and the melody overall is relentlessly happy and upbeat. When the piano and other instruments join in you'd better have plenty of space on your living room floor--you'll be dancing to this number, too!
One especially elegant number on this CD would be "Arrivederci Roma." The percussion, piano and horns all combine to make this a memorable number with a singularly beautiful continental flair. The band members occasionally yell out a "whoop!" to let you know they're enjoying playing this number every bit as much as you're enjoying listening to it.
"76 Trombones (From "The Music Man")" opens strong with the piano, chimes and drums going strong on all cylinders. This rousing instrumental ballad shines and you will enjoy it thoroughly.
The CD closes with the very pretty "Maui Chimes." Obviously, the chimes perform an integral part of the musical arrangement. They sound great when the ukulele comes in, too! When the piano and other instruments are added to the arrangement the excitement only grows. However, this is the last track on this CD--now, where did I put The Best Of The Arthur Lyman Group, Volume Two?
I highly recommend this CD for fans of mood music, lounge music and easy listening music, too. People who enjoy "exotica" music will love this CD as well.
