Arthur Lyman – Taboo Vol. 2 (1960) Mono
Taboo Vol. 2 represents a significant continuation of Arthur Lyman's pioneering work in the Exotica genre. This mono pressing captures Lyman's sophisticated instrumental arrangements and atmospheric percussion techniques that defined the movement. As the sequel to his influential debut Taboo, this recording further establishes Lyman's position as a foundational architect of the Exotica sound, showcasing his masterful vibraphone work within lush, tropical soundscapes characteristic of this distinctive mid-century jazz subgenre.
