On the Shoulders of Giants is an album by the American jazz saxophonist Chris Byars, released in 2020. It features a sextet without a chordal instrument, in which solos are accompanied with arranged horn harmonies. The sound on the album has been compared to that of Gerry Mulligan's pianoless groups.
Critical reception
Ken Dryden, writing for the New York City Jazz Record, stated that "The music sounds like it
has been worked out in concert, sounding effortless" and that "The engaging performances on this CD will stand the test of time." Scott Yanow, writing in L.A. Jazz Scene, praised the horn arrangements, stating that "Everyone has opportunities to shine in their solos yet the arranged ensembles that accompany them are often just as noteworthy."
