The Out-Islanders were a US musical group formed in 1961, known for their album Polynesian Fantasy. The project was initiated by Billy May, who arranged and conducted the album, and Charlie Barnet, who played saxophone. Both had extensive backgrounds in the music industry; May started as an arranger and trumpeter for Charlie Barnet's big band in the late 1930s and later became one of the top arrangers of the 1950s. The Out-Islanders featured many leading session players of the era, including pianist Jimmy Rowles, saxophonist Ted Nash, guitarist Al Hendrickson, and drummer Irv Cottler. Polynesian Fantasy received a four-star rating from Billboard upon its release in 1961.
