I made this attention to older locals, but not to be be discriminatory.
I've been getting into the music of Gene Rains lately. Most likely no one in here has heard of him, but he was a local Exotica artist who released 3 records. Very much in the style of Martin Denny,Arthur Lyman, but I actually like these records better.

These records are really wonderful, if you're into this forgotten style of lounge jazz, most recognizeable by the sound of the vibraphone, and lots of jungle percussion.
Gene was from Hawaii, so I'm told, and there is almost nothing about the guy on the internet.
Some of you older cats may know the name, or maybe your parents do.
If you have any info on the guy,I'd love to hear it.
