Three Small Giants

Doodlin’ can be boring at times, but not after you listen to this funk-infused jazz gem by Three Small Giants.

Their recent release Doodlin’ is a perfect example of this pivot. A cover of Horace Silver's "Doodlin’,” this track is an irresistible expo of jazz and contemporary music. It explores the boring yet amusing moments of waiting—especially the random scribbling and doodling. The striking elements of guitar, bass and vocals create a magical "velvet funk"—a mix of smooth jazz harmonies and James Brown-inspired rhythms. TSG has truly aced this track, delivering a beautiful blend of traditional jazz and modern-day music. You will be amazed by their playful yet sophisticated approach of delivering a soundscape. Listeners who are in for a hip-swaying on jazz-inspired music can surely give this track a special place in their playlist.
