Derek Shulman: “It is important to have a live album that is live. After that, there were no overdubs in the studio. So what you saw and heard is what you have on the album. “

Gentle Giant was a British progressive rock band in London in 1970 by three brothers Derek, Ray and Phil Shulman together with Gary Green, Kerry Minnear and drummer Martin Smith, who has recently been replaced by John “Pugwash” in 1972.

The group was known for its complex and versatile style of music, which mixed elements from rock, jazz, classical, popular and medieval music. The band played a variety of instruments between them and their complicated arrangements and exquisite vocal pharmonies gave them their own unique, immediately identifiable sound.

Gentle Giant released a number of highly respected albums, including “Acoking the Taste” (1971), “In a Glass House” (1973) and “The Power and the Glory” (1974), through which she pushed her musical borders to the border. Your live album 'Playing the Fool' (1977) remains proof of her breathtaking live shows.

In 1980 Gentle Giant called him a day and has since rejected numerous reforms. Maybe your call remains intact to this day. The success with a wide scale may have escaped them, but their violent, loyal fan base followed them directly in their career and beyond. Her legacy has remained unabated in the progressive rock world, the important influences on the Porcupine Tree's Steven Wilson, Neal Morse of Spocks Bart, Michael Sadler from Saga and Opeth's Mikael Akerfeldt, who “bought the taste” as one of his favorite albums.

Derek Shulman: “We were a rock'n'roll band that played interesting music and we wanted to have fun for ourselves and let the audience go out on the faces with a smile.”
