We have one more album to review in this article, and I saved the best for last. In 1973 Don Sebesky deservedly released a CTI album under his own name, an impressive package consisting of a double-album, a booklet with great photographs, a cast of a thousand musicians and some of the best arrangements of his career. The album is called Giant Box.
Don Sebesky Giant Box 1973
Of all the albums to release in this format, Don Sebeskys, 1973 double album, Giant Box, seems like one of the best. I have a quadraphonic pressing of the original vinyl box release that is on my list to digitize. However, even on a generalised stereo system that is part of my home 5.1 surround sound, this is a lucious, cleverly orchestrated album of distinction featuring some fine performances from Grover Washington, Jr, Freddie Hubbard, Paul Desmond, Ron Carter and many many others from the CTI/Kudu stable. If you would like to order a copy to see for yourself what these SACD releases are like, you can find it here [as always I receive no financial or other benefit from these links]. 2ff7e9595c
