About the album

The Giant, according to DoReSol

The band moved with fluidity, without complications. The melodies were clear, and the rhythm remained firm. Alone Together was one of the most popular, with a swing that makes you want to move. The album also featured Stella By Starlight, a song that sounds good at any time, but in this case it was given a special touch.

The sound of the album was clean, without losing the essence of jazz. The songs were well distributed, with a balance between the traditional and the modern. The Giant was not just an album, it was an experience that took you to another place.
