Blood, Sweat & Tears

Al Kooper Family Tree

Blues Project

1967

Saturday, July 22 - Wednesday, July 26, 1967 The Blues Project and Bob Dylan's former organ player Al Kooper (b. Alan Peter Kuperschmidt, Saturday, February 5, 1944, at 12:15pm, Brooklyn, NY) had decided to move to England and chose to throw a “benefit” for himself at the New York's Cafe Au Go Go, because he needed to raise money for a one-way ticket to London to start a solo career. He also decided to get a pickup band together for the upcoming gigs and bring in Steve Katz (guitar, vocals, harp; b. Wednesday, May 9, 1945, at 3:00am, Brooklyn, NY) formerly of The Blues Project, Robert Wayne 'Bobby' Colomby (drums, vocals; b. Wednesday, December 20, 1944, New York City, NY) formerly of Odetta, Eric Andersen, and Children Of Paradise, and Jim 'Jimmy' Fielder (bass; b. James Thomas Fielder, Saturday, October 4, 1947, Denton, TX) formerly of Tim Buckley, Buffalo Springfield, and The Mothers Of Invention. The unnamed band rehearsed for five days in a row at Kooper's apartment at 140 Waverly Place, West Greenwich Village, NYC, and worked up most of the new material Al had written, plus some old “hits” of The Blues Project.

AL KOOPER'S LIVE BACKING BAND (JULY 22, 1967 - AUGUST 1967) 1) Al Kooper vocals, guitar, organ 2) Steve Katz vocals, guitar, harp 3) Bobby Colomby vocals, drums 4) Jimmy Fielder bass

Thursday, July 27 - Saturday, July 29, 1967: 'Al Kooper’s Last U.S. Appearance', Cafe Au Go Go, 152 Bleecker Street, West Greenwich Village, Manhattan, New York City, New York Two shows a day. Also on the bill: Jack Adrews (27), plus many other guest artists. According to Al Kooper, his old pals Judy Collins, Eric Andersen and Paul Simon did a set on the first night of 27th. According to Steve Katz however, none of them actually showed up (an eyewitness called Richard Lewis also confirmed Katz’s version). According to Al Kooper all the six shows were sold-out. According to Steve Katz however, only very few people actually showed up and maybe only the first night was sold-out. According to eyewitness Richard Lewis, Al Kooper came on and played two acoustic numbers before being joined by Steve Katz, Bobby Colomby and Jimmy Fielder. They played about eight songs - including 'I Love You More Than You’ll Ever Know' and 'My Days Are Numbered' - before finishing with 'I Can’t Quit Her', which Kooper dedicated to the Statue of Liberty.

Sunday, July 30, 1967 Al Kooper makes very little money from the “benefit” gigs due to excessive expenses, and gives up the idea of moving to London. Nonetheless, his pickup band sounds great, so he, Steve, Bobby and Jimmy decide to form a “real” band where they would add horns, like Al wanted to do since his last days with The Blues Project.

August 1967 Al, Steve, Bobby and Jimmy began their search for the horn section and the first addition to their as-yet unnamed new band was Colomby’s friend Frederick 'Freddie' Lipsius (b. Friday, November 19, 1943, New York City, NY) on alto sax and piano (he was also a music arranger). Lipsius was a music major who has studied classical music in New York and at Boston’s Berklee School of Music, before joining a Canadian big band.

September 1967: Regent Sound Studio’s Inc., 25 West 56th Street, Manhattan, New York City, New York Al Kooper took only Bobby Colomby and Jimmy Fielder into Regent Sound to cut three song demos for his publishing company 'Sea-Lark Music'. They would be used to shop the as-yet unnamed new band. Al hired two studio trumpet players and overdubbed them to sound like four. They recorded: 'I Can’t Quit Her', 'My Days Are Numbered', and the Al Kooper-Tony Powers collaboration 'I Need To Fly'.

September 1967 Suggested by Al, the unnamed band become Blood, Sweat and Tears. According to Al, he finds the inspiration for the group’s name after an eventful all night jam session at the Cafe Au Go Go with Jimi Hendrix and B.B. King.

The band also broke Frank Sinatra’s 20-year old house-record (!!). However, the successful Caesars Palace run was not that brilliant for their careers and credibility and they did receive a lot of criticism from the underground rock scene. The group was accused of being hollow and pretentious, swapping its original rock audience for older, cabaret-oriented listeners. They were called a lounge act and that they had sold their soul for the money. When they played at the Fillmore East a week later, they were derided for its Vegas appearance.

He once came up to our office once and rolled a joint for me and him, except he really didn't know how to roll a joint very well. Anyway, we never played his club and as far as I know, we were never booked there, but it would be typical of Sammy to brag about something that might never would have happened."
