From the back cover:

Arthur Lyman is a masterful, sensitive and astonishingly versatile musician. He plays vibes, marimba, congas, bongos, guitar and almost every other instrument heard in the ensemble.

John Kramer, who writes in collaboration with Arthur, plays bass, flute, guitar, ukelele, clarinet and percussion.

Harold Chang is a multi-talented percussionist, who doubles on bass and a battery of exotic instruments.

Alan Soares, pianist, also doubles on guitar, clavietta, glockenspiel and marimba

From Billboard - March 7, 1964: Arthur Lyman and his South Seas sound has been a steady seller for some time. This set, which again melds the distinctive vibes sound with small group exotica, should carry on the Lyman spell. "Poincana," "Shangri-La" and "Baubles Bangles And Beads" are a few of the first-class tracks.
