Description
Featuring the band’s million-selling debut, ‘Taboo’ from 1958 acclaimed as an early pinnacle of the genre.
The eerie and echoey ‘Bwana A’ taking the listener much further into the jungle.
‘Bahia’ with its added ship’s horns, thunder storms, parrots, paraquats, rainfall, tinkling marimba, and a lonesome violin.
Plus ‘Leis Of Jazz’ in which Lyman revisits his jazz roots and love of Benny Goodman and Lionel Hampton.
This is music like nothing else:
“A conch shell wailed, the conga drums thump-thumped, the bamboo sticks clattered," Time magazine wrote in 1962, "The four men on stage were constantly on the move — clacking wooden blocks, scratching a corrugated gourd, flailing away at Chinese gongs, weaving rhythms that were insistent, sinuous and hypnotic. Occasionally, when the spirit moved them, they barked like seals or whooped like cranes.”
