From the back cover: With Arthur Lyman are his friends and fellow musicians: Harold Chang, percussionist; Allan Soares, Pianist; and John Kramer, Bass and Flute. Together they generate the power of a 20-piece band.

From Billboard - December 18, 1961: Arthur Lyman has another fine package to follow up on his potent "Yellow Bird" set that hit the charts. This album is loaded for bear with strong material. Included are ear-delighting performances of "Exodus," "Never On Sunday" and "Blue Hawaii." A swinging change of pace in the program is provided by the group's jazz interpretation of "Moaning." A solid potential seller.
