From his emergence in the 1950s, the multi-instrumentalist Yusef Lateef has been a kindhearted warrior on the cutting edge of jazz. With his ahead-of-its-time inclusive attitude towards music in general, he was able to absorb multicultural influences long before it became fashionable. GENTLE GIANT, originally issued on the Atlantic label in 1972, is one of Lateef's more funk-oriented efforts. With plenty of lyrical soloing and deep grooves (and the remarkable Kenny Barron on piano!), GIANT is one of the cornerstone discs of crossover jazz.
