Blood sweat and tears

There was a time when you could find videos of DCT w/BST at the 1993 North Sea Jazz Festival. Can't remember who was backing him at the time, but the songs I could find were fantastic. Would love to see that released in full.

I love all of the horn bands, but especially The Electric Flag

Band started by Al Kooper as jazz band. He lasted one album.

At one point they considered hiring Laura Nyro to replace Kooper. This, predictably enough, did not work out but did get them access to And When I Die.

BST is nicely recorded too.
Sounds even better on R/R tape.
Nice fat, dynamic sound.

Actually, it was Steve Katz, Bobby Colomby and Jim Fielder that persuaded Al Kooper to join in August of '67...he had always wanted to add horns to The Blues Project but Danny Kalb had vetoed it.

Saw BS&T live in early 1969. At first I was very disappointed that Al Kooper wasn't with them. But as the concert went on, I accepted the change.

I thought I had heard of every horn band there was back in the good days, but I missed this one, thanks.
