Gentle Giant var ett brittiskt progressivt rockband. Bandet bildades i slutet av 1960-talet av bröderna , och ur spillrorna av Simon Dupree and the Big Sound. Gruppen blandade friskt rock, jazz, klassisk musik, medeltida musik och avantgarde-musik till en säregen variant av progressiv rock. Gruppens musik är ytterst komplex och sammanlagt spelade de olika medlemmarna över 30 olika instrument. Gruppen var verksam mellan åren 1970 och 1980 och hann släppa 12 album varav ett, , är ett livealbum. Genom en av deras trummisar finns också en koppling till ett av de absolut första psych/prog-banden Eyes of Blue Gentle Giant byla britská progressive rocková skupina, jedna z nejexperimentálnějších v 70. letech. Jejich texty byly inspirovány filosofií, osobními zážitky a dílem Françoise Rabelaise a heslo bylo „Rozšířit hranice současné populární hudby s rizikem, že se stane velmi nepopulární.“ ジェントル・ジャイアント(Gentle Giant)は、イングランド出身の1970年代に活動したプログレッシブ・ロック・バンド。 Gentle Giant war eine britische Progressive-Rock-Band um die Brüder Phil, Derek und Ray Shulman.

Podobnie jak inne grupy z tego kręgu, muzycy z Gentle Giant charakteryzowali się techniczną wirtuozerią i innowacyjnością w podejściu do tworzenia muzyki oraz zastosowaniem szerokiego zakresu instrumentów akustycznych i elektronicznych. Skupiali się raczej na komponowaniu krótszych utworów, dbając o ich strukturalną i stylistyczną integralność. W muzyce Gentle Giant daje się zauważyć wyraźne wpływy muzyki poważnej, folkowej, jazzu oraz hard rocka. Charakterystyczną cechą dla stylu grupy jest szerokie wykorzystanie techniki kontrapunktu, rzadko stosowane ( 다른 뜻에 대해서는 젠틀 자이언트 (동음이의) 문서를 참고하십시오.) 젠틀 자이언트(Gentle Giant)는 잉글랜드의 프로그레시브 록 밴드이다.

Growing up, family, two sons, lovely little daughter, a wife who was getting lonelier and lonelier… No decision really, it was a foregone conclusion. My brothers, in fact, quite frankly wouldn't speak to me for years afterwards because I said, "That's it, I'm going. I've got to go back to my family and I've got to go back and be a normal man...." I'm not saying how important I was to the group, or anything like that, but my brothers thought that that was the end of the band. And that's absurd. When five-sixths of the band are still there, [and] I go - no trouble. And they did: they carried on for seven more years, folks, and that was touring the world and getting great acclaim as a very fine five-piece outfit. But for me it was the only thing to do. It obviously took something away because I wasn't able to listen to music for a few years afterwards. It was like this big funnel, really. We all had these varied influences, whether it be pop, classical, rock, jazz, or whatever, and we just came together and created what we did. A lot of the bands who were doing prog rock back then were doing long songs that in many cases were just filler, but we never tried to impress anyone with our talents, maybe we were just trying to impress each other! What to us just seemed like some clever songs really touched a lot of people it seems, which never fails to amaze me. [It was a] house full of musicians and instruments... I started learning trumpet when I was five just because it was there and then took up violin when I was seven. We were made to practise for an hour a day at least, when we really wanted to go out and play. ... Eventually I wanted to do it anyway... I wasn't formally taught at all. We had a meeting in New York when we started the tour over here. We met in New York to get together and see it as a launch-off place. Kind of had a talk about what we were going to do. At that meeting Kerry and Derek said this was going to be the last tour and they didn't want to be on the road anymore. And you understand it; they had families. Kerry had just had a baby and Derek was just getting married. But having said that, I was married and so was John. You can change things like that; there are ways to work around that. You don't have to tour. I don't think we really toured an awful lot as Giant. I think we could have worked a lot harder at touring. We toured perhaps five or six months of the year. The rest of the year we didn't tour, which seemed a bit silly if you really want to make it or break the market. So let's go ahead and do it and capitalize on this rush we got. So it all seemed a little odd to me. It was sad. At a show at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, we went on stage and the Sabbath fans were shouting “get off, we want Sabbath” and we were just getting set to play ‘Funny Ways’. We pulled out the cellos and violins, and the crowd starting heckling immediately, but we were gradually starting to get past it, when someone threw a cherry bomb on stage. [Phil Shulman] made sure we all stopped playing and said we needed to get off the stage. As we were leaving the stage, Phil grabbed the mic and said to the crowd, “You guys are a bunch of fucking cunts!”, and the boo that went up after that was enormous! To this day I'll never forget it! We were sort of vindicated later on, as we thought we were never going to play Los Angeles again after the cherry bomb incident, but later on the Octopus tour we were able to sell out consistently there, so something clicked with the fans.

Gentle Giant foi uma banda de rock progressivo britânico formada em 1970 pelos três irmãos Shulman, escoceses de origem judaica, após o término da banda pop Simon Dupree and the Big Sound em 1969. Gravaram doze álbuns entre 1970 e 1980. Inspirados por antigos filósofos, eventos pessoais e os trabalhos de François Rabelais, a proposta da banda era: Gentle Giant (укр. Ніжний велетень) — британський рок-гурт напрямку прогресивний рок, активний у 1970-х — 1980-х роках. Разом із гуртами Yes та King Crimson ця група визначила мистецькі межі напрямку, однак не досягала такого успіху, як вони. Натхнені древніми філософами, власним досвідом і працями Франсуа Рабле, учасники групи додержувалися принципу «розширювати межі сучасної попмузики, ризикуючи стати вкрай непопулярними». Подібно до інших гуртів цього напрямку, музиканти Gentle Giant відрізнялися технічною віртуозністю та новаторським підходом до музичної творчості, а також застосуванням широкого набору акустичних та електронних музичних інструментів. Більшість їх композицій — короткої тривалості, прагнучи стилістичної та структурної довершеності. У музиці Gentle Giant відчуваються впливи класичної, зокрема у використанні нестандартних музичних розмірів, складних мелодій і гармоній (часто дисонівних), використання таких музичних форм, як-от фуга в «On Reflection» і мадригал в «Knots». З іншого боку відчутні впливи етнічної, джазової музики та хард-року. Більшість альбомів гурту — концептуальні, тексти — переважно філософського змісту. Також гурт відомий розробкою власного музичного інструмента «шульбери» (англ. Shulberry), названого на честь братів Шульманів. Gentle Giant était un groupe rock progressif britannique, originaire de Londres, en Angleterre. Actif entre 1970 et 1980, il est connu pour la complexité et la sophistication de ses mélodies, qui emprunte des genres différents tel que le progressif, le classique, la musique médiévale, le jazz et le rock. Tous les membres du groupe, hormis les deux premiers batteurs Martin Smith et Malcolm Mortimore, sont multi-instrumentistes. L'objectif des membres du groupe était, selon le chanteur Derek Shulman, de « repousser les limites de la musique populaire contemporaine, au risque d'être impopulaires ». En effet, les ventes n'égalèrent jamais les sommets commerciaux d'autres groupes contemporains tels que Pink Floyd, Yes ou Genesis, et Gentle Giant est souvent considéré comme l'une des formations les plus expérimentales des années 1970. Gentle Giant (читается джентл джайэнт — «кроткий великан») — британская рок-группа, образованная в 1970 году тремя братьями Шульманами, стала в 1970-х одним из характернейших коллективов прогрессивного рока.

The band were known for the complexity and sophistication of their music and for the varied musical skills of their members. All of the band members were multi-instrumentalists. Although not commercially successful, they did achieve a cult following. The band stated that their aim was to "expand the frontiers of contemporary popular music at the risk of becoming very unpopular", although this stance was to alter significantly with time. Gentle Giant's music was considered complex even by progressive rock standards, drawing on a broad swathe of music including folk, soul, jazz, and classical music. Unlike many of their progressive rock contemporaries, their "classical" influences ranged beyond the Romantic and incorporated medieval, baroque, and modernist chamber music elements. The band also had a taste for broad themes for their lyrics, drawing inspiration not only from personal experiences but from philosophy and the works of François Rabelais and R. D. Laing. In 2015 they were recognised with the lifetime achievement award at the Progressive Music Awards. I Gentle Giant sono stati un gruppo musicale tra i più rappresentativi del rock progressivo britannico degli anni settanta. La band è nota per la complessità e la raffinatezza della sua musica e per le varie abilità musicali dei suoi membri, visto che tutti i membri della band erano polistrumentisti. Sebbene non abbiano avuto un successo commerciale, hanno comunque ottenuto nel tempo un seguito importante di fan della loro musica. La band dichiarava che il suo scopo era quello di "espandere le frontiere della musica popolare contemporanea con il rischio di trasformarsi in una band molto impopolare", posizione che tuttavia cambiò in modo significativo nel corso del tempo. Vero è che la musica di Gentle Giant era considerata complessa anche per gli standard del rock progressivo più avanzato, attingendo a un'ampia gamma di musica tra cui il folk, il soul, il jazz e la musica classica. A differenza di molti dei loro contemporanei che facevano parte della stessa corrente musicale, le influenze "classiche" dei Gentle Giant andavano ben oltre il romantico e incorporavano elementi di musica da camera medievale, barocca e moderna. Oltre a ciò la band prediligeva anche ampi temi testuali, traendo ispirazione non solo dalle esperienze personali dei componenti, ma dalla filosofia e dalle opere di François Rabelais e R. D. Laing.

Gruppen blandade friskt rock, jazz, klassisk musik, medeltida musik och avantgarde-musik till en säregen variant av progressiv rock. Gruppens musik är ytterst komplex och sammanlagt spelade de olika medlemmarna över 30 olika instrument. Gruppen var verksam mellan åren 1970 och 1980 och hann släppa 12 album varav ett, , är ett livealbum. Genom en av deras trummisar finns också en koppling till ett av de absolut första psych/prog-banden Eyes of Blue Gentle Giant fue una banda británica de rock progresivo activa entre 1970 y 1980. La agrupación era conocida por la complejidad y sofisticación de su música y por las variadas habilidades musicales de sus miembros. Todos los integrantes del grupo eran multiinstrumentistas. Aunque no tuvieron éxito comercial, lograron convertirse en una gran banda de culto.​ La banda afirmó que su objetivo era "expandir las fronteras de la música popular contemporánea a riesgo de volverse muy impopular",​ aunque esta postura cambiaría significativamente con el tiempo. La música de Gentle Giant se consideraba compleja incluso para los estándares del rock progresivo, y se basaba en una amplia gama de música que incluía folk, soul, jazz y música clásica. A diferencia de muchos de sus contemporáneos del rock progresivo, sus influencias "clásicas" iban más allá del romanticismo e incorporaron elementos de la música de cámara medieval, barroca y modernista. La banda también tenía un gusto por los temas amplios para sus letras, inspirándose no solo en experiencias personales sino también en la filosofía y las obras de François Rabelais y R. D. Laing. En 2015 fueron reconocidos con un premio a su trayectoria en los Progressive Music Awards.​ Gentle Giant war eine britische Progressive-Rock-Band um die Brüder Phil, Derek und Ray Shulman.

Gentle Giant – brytyjska progresywna grupa rockowa, aktywna w latach 1970-1980. Obok The Nice, Yes, King Crimson i Emerson, Lake & Palmer wyznaczyła artystyczne granice gatunku, nigdy jednak nie osiągnęła sukcesu tej miary co tamte zespoły. Podobnie jak inne grupy z tego kręgu, muzycy z Gentle Giant charakteryzowali się techniczną wirtuozerią i innowacyjnością w podejściu do tworzenia muzyki oraz zastosowaniem szerokiego zakresu instrumentów akustycznych i elektronicznych. Skupiali się raczej na komponowaniu krótszych utworów, dbając o ich strukturalną i stylistyczną integralność. W muzyce Gentle Giant daje się zauważyć wyraźne wpływy muzyki poważnej, folkowej, jazzu oraz hard rocka. Charakterystyczną cechą dla stylu grupy jest szerokie wykorzystanie techniki kontrapunktu, rzadko stosowanej w muzyce rockowej nawet wśród zespołów progresywnych. Gentle Giant és una agrupació de Rock progressiu, Art rock, Rock simfònic i Rock psicodèlic que va néixer a principis dels anys 70 a Anglaterra. Considerada com una de les millors bandes del rock progressiu i una de les agrupacions més originals de la història de la música al segle XX. Tenen un so molt especial que combina diferents tesitures vocals amb sons cada vegada més sofisticats i complexos. La complexitat de la seva música fa d'aquesta banda, una més original però, també, una de les menys comercials. Varen ser molt creatius quant a composició. Amb els seus àlbums "Gentle Giant", "Acquiring the Taste", "Three Friends", "Free Hand", les seves millors i més creatives peces musicals. A partir de l'any 1976, Gentle Giant va decidir tornar-se més comercial i van passar del Rock progressiu a un Hard rock de menys complexitat i, per tant, de menys qualitat per musicólegs i fanàtics, específicament, del Rock progressiu i del Rock simfònic. En qualsevol cas, van poder arribar al nivell d'agrupacions importantíssimes pel Rock progressiu com és el cas del grup King Crimson o Camel, aquesta última, amb un estil més semblant al so de Gentle Giant. Gentle Giant byla britská progressive rocková skupina, jedna z nejexperimentálnějších v 70. letech. Jejich texty byly inspirovány filosofií, osobními zážitky a dílem Françoise Rabelaise a heslo bylo „Rozšířit hranice současné populární hudby s rizikem, že se stane velmi nepopulární.“
