Don Sebesky is a genius! This album and another masterpiece, "Giant Box", are simply sublime. Had the honor to work with him on an album I produced for Rodrigo Lima ("Saga") as well as on a concert by singer Ithamara Koorax ("Symphonic João Gilberto"), both available here on RUclips.

Those of you who enjoy this might also enjoy Don Sebesky's deft arrangement of Stravinky's "Firebird" and John McLaughlin's "Birds of Fire". It's on his epic CTI album "Giant Box".

Tremendous! Sebesky certainly knew how to assemble a seriously big band. Boundaries? What boundaries? ~~~~

That's what you'd expect from the team as under the name of Don Sebesky. Salutes sundry

masterful arrangements.

Thanks for sharing, I bought this as a MFSL (half-speed-mastered) vinyl release, and haven't heard it in years.
As an underclassman who wanted to write a form-and-analysis paper on "Bird and Bela", I contacted Mr. Sebesky to see if a score was available (required by the professor). He kindly took my call himself, but quoted me a firm price of $100 - which far exceeded this collegiate's modest budget. (That's $221, adjusted for inflation in 2014.) So I ended up analyzing something far more pedestrian instead...

[@josebelindo1641]

$100 was the same price he quoted to a student in his arranging course for a Xerox copy of the score

[@josebelindo1641]

Jose Belindo he gave everybody that took the course a copy of the album

[@MrLGC2011]

A portion from 39:27 till 41:44 was used, in 1981, as part of the soundtrack of a very successful and popular TV soap opera here in Chile : "La madrastra" (The Stepmother)

[@Forestier1]

All versions including those on streaming services seem to mislabel track two. The Stravinsky occupies the middle two tracks while the Bartok is only track one.

lets see what Bluecoats do with this!
