ECHOES OF THE SOUTH PACIFIC was composed in 1945 by singer, steel guitarist and band leader Hal Aloma. Aloma played with a number of bands, most notably, a mult-year engagement at the Hawaiian Room in New York’s Hotel Lexington. I learned this tune from stellar Hawaiian-style steel guitarist Margie Mays and my arrangement closely mirrors hers, modernizing the rhythms from the original sheet music to reflect a lightly swinging but less syncopated feel.
