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.
