Their album Little Giant, originally released in 1970 as part of Victor's Japanese Jazz series, remains a key highlight in their extensive catalog. This release features the talents of notable composers and arrangers, including Masao Yagi, Kiyoshi Yamaya, Norio Maeda, and Masahiko Sato, alongside innovative arrangements of works by Oliver Nelson, a close collaborator. The albums intricate and bold arrangements reveal the band's exceptional performance caliber. The track 'Little Giant' radiates coolness, while 'Dark Horse' exudes strength. 'Orbit 8:11' introduces an edgy sound, and 'Flexibility' displays refined sophistication. The musicians deliver a compelling interplay of energy and calm, reflecting the band's versatility. Now reissued on vinyl, this work captures the distinctive charm and skill of Sharps and Flats, presenting an exciting experience for listeners. It's a vibrant representation of adventurous big band jazz that continues to resonate.
