Polynesian Fantasy - The Out Islanders

 

The Moon Of Manakoora

Polynesian Fantasy
An Exotic Musical Mood Adventure by The Out Islanders
Produced by Dave Cavanaugh and Curly Walter

Capitol Records ST 1595
1961

From Billboard - August 7, 1961: The most interesting thing about this group is the presence of Billy May as arranger and Charlie Barnet as sax soloist, neither of whom are known for their Polynesian proclivities. However, the results are lush, Hawaiian stylings with much use of the steel guitar and various percussion instruments of the Islands, set against a substantial woodwind sections. Included are "Ebb Tide," "Beyond The Reef," "Poinciana," and several numbers featuring the high soprano stylings of Loulie Jean Norman and Marni Nixon. Delightful mood wax with a most displayable cover.
