Ramin Khamsei Email & Phone Number

The Gentle Giant Quintet was created by it's vocalist, Ramin Khamsei, in 1997. It's comprised of up and coming as well as established Chicago musicians. The majority of it's members attended Roosevelt University's music program and have played together on and off for several years. Although the bands staple is the songbooks of crooners Frank Sinatra and Harry Connick Jr., they do a wide variety of classic standards, bossa nova as well as the occasional converted rock tunes. Comprised of guitar, bass, drums and saxaphone players, the band has a unique blend of the relaxed feel of West Coast jazz and a dark fury of Bebop. Ramin Khamsei, while standing 6'10" and 400 pounds, sings with a gentleness and subtlety not expected from someone of his size. Hence the name of the band. The world is full of crooners and other types of singers, The Gentle Giant Quintet has a taste of the old stylings that most people know and love with the unique feel of something new that is not heard very often in music these days...... sincerity to the music.
