Welcome to the official Gentle Giant web site. Combining diverse elements from rock, classical, jazz, soul, blues, and the avante-garde, and playing more than 30 instruments, Gentle Giant created some of the greatest music of the 1970s progressive rock era. If you are unfamiliar with Gentle Giant, I hope this web site will encourage you to sample their unique music. To old fans and friends: step inside and share some memories of old days.
