Gentle Giant
Gentle Giant was a British progressive rock band formed in 1970, known for their complex compositions, virtuosic musicianship, and eclectic style that blended rock, jazz, classical, and medieval music. The band was founded by brothers Derek, Ray, and Phil Shulman, and over the course of their career, they built a cult following with their intricate arrangements and ambitious musical ideas. Albums like Octopus (1972), The Power and the Glory (1974), and Free Hand (1975) are beloved among prog fans for their adventurous spirit and technical prowess.
Despite never achieving massive mainstream success, Gentle Giant earned critical acclaim and left a lasting influence on the progressive rock genre. They disbanded in 1980, but their music has seen renewed interest over the years, with remastered releases and remix projects by artists like Steven Wilson introducing a new generation to their work. Their legacy lives on as one of the most innovative and musically adventurous bands of the 1970s prog scene.
