Description
The Surfmen were an ephemeral exotica super group, consisting of only the best musicians David L Miller, the man who brought us the 101 Strings, could possibly find. Playing a program of favourites from the fiftieth and most beautiful state - the tropical paradise of Hawaii. The spell of these lovely islands swept by languorous trade winds never leaves the hearts of those who have set foot on her magic shores.
Among the staff of The Surfmen are musicians like Jack Costanzo, Alvino Rey and Irv Cottler.
The Surfmen deliver! The use of especially exotic percussive instruments like coconut shells, lave stones and bamboo puppet shakers. This high budget production has it all: Well-known session musicians, field recordings, fake bird calls, exotic percussion, a few renditions of classic exotica tunes and unique material.
This has to be one of the best vintage exotica albums ever released.
