Al Kealoha Perry presented by Webley Edwards – Hawaii Calls: Favorite Instrumentals Of The Islands

A warm, atmospheric collection of classic Hawaiian-themed instrumentals, this release captures the easy-going charm and golden-age romanticism of island music as presented through the iconic Hawaii Calls radio tradition. Curated under the guidance of broadcaster Webley Edwards and featuring arrangements associated with Al Kealoha Perry, the album reflects the hugely popular mid-century fascination with Hawaiian exotica and lounge culture.

The selections bring together some of the most recognisable standards associated with Hawaiian popular music, including Blue Hawaii, Sweet Leilani, and Hawaiian War Chant. These interpretations lean into lush, melodic arrangements that evoke sunsets, surf, and the romanticised “South Seas” sound that defined the era.

While very much of its time in aesthetic, the record remains a staple for collectors of exotica, easy listening, and vintage travel-themed music. It sits comfortably alongside artists like Les Baxter and Arthur Lyman in its appeal to fans of atmospheric, escapist instrumental records.
