The Distant Galaxy
Donald John Sebesky was born in Perth Amboy, New Jersey, USA, on 10 December 1937; his father worked in a steel-cable factory, his mother was a housewife. At the age of eight he started learning the accordion; he later came to realize that this instrument was the best possible choice he could have made because, as he says, «the accordion is a 'mini-orchestra' and teaches the principles of harmony from the very beginning».In 1965 Don Sebesky joined Verve Records when Creed Taylor was still a prod…

These tapes, as rare as H.P. Lovecraft's Necronomicon, are now in Sub Rosa's archives.What you'll find in this record: 1. Two introductions by Konstantin Raudive and…
