Adventurous big band jazz featuring such renowned composers and arrangers as Masao Yagi, Kiyoshi Yamaya, Norio Maeda, and Masahiko Sato.

This is Sharps & Flats' greatest masterpiece.

 

Sharps & Flats, led by Nobuo Hara, has led the Japanese big band jazz scene with its diverse activities and outstanding musicality.

They have produced many works throughout their long career, but this album, Little Giant, is considered one of their most representative works.

The original was released in 1970 as part of Victor's Japanese Jazz series. Of note is the participation of such renowned composers and arrangers as Masao Yagi, Kiyoshi Yamaya,

Norio Maeda, and Masahiko Sato. In addition to the original songs by each member, the album also features a unique arrangement of Oliver Nelson, who has a close relationship with Sharps & Flats.

The arrangements are as detailed as they are adventurous, and the performance quality is high enough to make them a reality.

The hipness of "Little Giant," the strength of "Dark Horse," the edgyness of "Orbit 8:11," the elegance of "Flexibility"... The dynamic performance with the right amount of tension is captivating.

This is a masterpiece that brings out the best of Sharps and Flats' ability and charm.
