Don Sebesky: Giant Box
by Dan Bilawsky
It's a bit bizarre to find an album called Giant Box in a small cardboard case, or as a download lacking physical form, but times change. When Don Sebesky's grand musical statement on CTI hit the marketplace in 1973, it came in a classical-type record box, befitting the stature of the music. Opinions ...

While the trumpet titan continued to record for Creed Taylor's imprint after this session, the work that followed First Light never fully measured up to his ...
