Abe Lyman (August 4,
1897 – October 23, 1957) was a popular bandleader from the 1920s to the 1940s.
He made recordings, appeared in films and provided the music for numerous radio
shows, including Your Hit Parade.
Opening night drew a large crowd of 1500 guests in the Cocoanut Grove, plus another 500 more outside.
Lyman appeared on
radio as early as 1922.
His orchestra was broadcast from The Ambassador Hotel by late March on KOG.
He was a noted
drummer and his band layout featured Abe in front playing his drums and leading
the band.
He used many flashy tricks twirling his drumsticks while playing.
They made many recordings and were one of Brunswick's leading orchestras
through 1935, when Lyman signed to Decca Records.
Notable musicians in
the Lyman Orchestra included Ray Lopez, Gussie Mueller, and Orlando
"Slim" Martin.
During the 1930s, the
Lyman Orchestra was heard regularly on such shows as Accordiana and Waltz Time
every Friday evening and on NBC, Coast to Coast.
When Lyman was 50 years old, he left the music industry and went into the
restaurant management business.
He died in Beverly Hills, California at the age of 60.
