The Giant is a live album by trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie. It was recorded in Paris, France in 1973, and first released on the French America label.
The Allmusic review stated "Gillespie plays well enough... Still, the edge is missing on these explorations of standards and recent originals although he is in particularly fine form on the ballads".
