As the vibraphonist for Martin Denny's group, Lyman was implemental in crafting the sound of exotica. Lyman didn't stay with Denny for foresighted, however, departure the ensemble in 1957 to start a solo life history that was virtually as successful as Denny's. To no one's surprise, Lyman's albums sounded identical practically like Denny's, with fifty-fifty more than of a somnambulent feel. Much of the public wanted to relax, though, and they sent his debut, Tabu, to #6 in the album charts in 1958. In addition to playing vibes on his group's recordings, Lyman also played some guitar, pianissimo, and drums, as well as remunerative careful attending to using two-channel sound.


Lyman likewise had a few strike singles, with "Taboo" and "Love For Sale" reaching the midriff of the charts, and "Xanthous Bird" (the only big exotica hit in any case Denny's "Quiet Village") making #4 in 1961. Like Denny (though to a lesser extent), Lyman experient a revitalization in popularity in the 1990s, when the space years pop revitalisation made it acceptable to drag out his old LPs and sit around in tiki bars again. He continued playing for tourists in Waikiki until a year before his death from throat crab on February 24, 2002.
