Chuck Winfield teaches at the University of Maine at Augusta, and has been a pivotal member of the faculty, which is also one of the least expensive places to get an excellent four yr jazz degree in America.
Short-lived 6 hits career in Australia from April 1969 to October 1971. The hits still can be heard on classic rock radio stations around Australia today. All hits featured Clayton-Thomas up front. * You Made Me So Very Happy * Spinning Wheel (stalled at #2 did 13 weeks) * And When I Die * Hi-De-Ho * Lucretia Mac-Evil * Go Down Gamblin' (stalled at #36 only 2 weeks)
Good job, however, it's pronounced JAW-KO NOT YAW-KO. I believe that info is incorrect, I NEVER knew of Jaco to play or tour w BS&T, however, guitarist Mike Stern did as did saxophonist Joe Henderson. Keyboardist Larry Willis was recording solo albums of his own while in-between tours w the band. When Lew Soloff was on the band, while not touring w BS&T he toured with Gil Evans. I saw them a few times in the late '80's w DCT and they sounded amazing! The cover of the No Sweat album where they're all in the Sona was re-cycled as a joke in the Sona scene in the Blues Brothers as both Lou Marini & Tom Malone were on that album with BS&T and later were on the Blues Brothers band. Trumpeter Alan Rubin who was with the Blues Brothers, subbed for Trumpeter Chuck Winfield on Spinning Wheel.
I liked Al Kooper's iteration the most. But they were too "jazz" for "pop." Even that rippin' trumpet solo by Soloff on "Spinning Wheel" still sounded sort of "networkie." I followed the Brecker Brothers in the late '80s and lost track of Fred Lipsius who I admired being a sax player, but was soon eaten alive by Cold Blood and Tower of Power who where more funk than I could fit in the trunk. I sat outside San Diego's Funky Quarters to listen to TOP's set TWICE. It was an over 21 bar, but the doorman did me a solid and left the front door open so I got to hear every blessed note. Saw TOP again just after Skip Mesquite exited and joined Cold Blood, and dancin' Lenny Pickett joined the horn section. From then on I was like "Blood Sweat and What?" When I heard DCT's distinctive voice singing in some national brand's pancake mix commercial, I chuckled to myself singing..."What goes up-Must come down-Sellin' flapjacks-Must be a clown!"
Yacho? Or what it Yacob? Not every name needs to be interpreted with an other than American pronunciation. Dude, it's Jaco with a J. No Y. He is not German.
BS&T 4 is very good album. Not a bad song on it. Go Down Gambling and Cowboys and Indians both highlights. Great playing by all members and great production.

One of the best bands ever
Al Kooper is the man! ⚡️♥️⚡️

I first heard them when I was four. I was dancing around the lounge. Have always loved them.
Great band. Great. Songs. Thanks
I damned near wore the grooves off of Child is Father to The Man

US had “Lisa Listen To Me” from the fourth album also. Great song!
Best album ever…THE original Blood Sweat and Tears
Well done. Your facts and info are quite good. Good sources. I’m in a unique position to know that. Nice job.
Glad it was helpful!
Were they really a musical group though? There were so many members it was really more like a battalion than a group.
They played at Woodstock.
I don't know how true this is but I heard somewhere that 128 personnel have cycled through the various incarnations of BS&T.
My first concert was DCT’s last. In Philly, at the Philadelphia music hall. Wait, it might have been the academy of Music?
My parents played the first album endlessly.
You didn't mention Jerry Fisher!!! A incredible singer!! As great as David Clayton!! I saw them with Jerry Fisher in Norman Okla. at the Blue Onion.
You're right!
More than 165 band members over the years! That sounds like a record.
Shouldve stopped sometime in the mid 70s, to preserve their legacy
The same way Chicago should, they have become nothing more than a tribute band to themselves
In ｔhe picture at 5:29, we can see Don Alias, Larry Willis, Mike Stern and Jaco Pastorius!
That's Jaco with a hard J. Not Yaco.. smh

According to his biography and drummer BST Bobby Colomby, Jaco filled in for a few gigs.
The greatest horn band ever!!!
Second best behind Chicago

I hear David Clayton Thomas is now with menudo….
I always wondered what happened to the band ides of March. They had that sound also, with the hit vehicle. Great tune, then really nothing.
One of my neighbors, Chris Shutters from Toledo, Ohio now sings lead with BS&T. Haven't seen them nearby but he's also a terrific guitarist!
?
A shame they were great
Sweat and Tears seem to be doing well, but I was heart broken to hear about Blood.
I really thought they'd have some black guys, but that's fine. I've read about Cooper working with Dylan.
Interesting presentation thank you🎶
Thanks for listening
"Blood, Sweat, and Tears WERE"?????? How groups are there by this name????????
Drugs women and bad business decisions like most bands of that time.
OK could we now stop the bullshit I’ve looked everywhere to stream this movie and cannot find it. Please let me know where it is.
I’ve worked with Al as a soloist and Katz’s BS&T. Kooper is better.
we need youall
Perhaps they just should have called the Band the "Revolving Door"..
stupid!
Yacho? Or what it Yacob? Not every name needs to be interpreted with an other than American pronunciation. Dude, it's Jaco with a J. No Y. He is not German.
Great second album. However their third was disappointing and Chicago, with a stronger rock vibe became the brass band of choice.
..also Chcago had three distinctive vocalists, better original material and a virtuoso guitarist in Terry Kath.
Love albums 1-4 then lost track of them.
how come you never mentioned Jerry Hyman?
Isn’t he a Chiropractor now?
@@pkeelan56 was...
And didn't Jerry LaCroix do a tour as vocalist?
Yes.
And I understand he quit because they didn't rock hard enough. @@allenjones3130
Yes but he didn't have the pipes to hand with a big band.
I think Jerry's version of the song "Love You More Than You Ever Know" is the very best.
What goes up must come down and after Al Kooper left it crashed.
No
Their first album the only one with al kooper did ok. But after kooper left the group took off like a rocket
@@nicholasbrowning4558 nope
@@allan9603 Child was father to the man had zero hits
@@nicholasbrowning4558 I stand corrected. Was thinking about The Lovin' Spoonful.
David Clayton-Thomas gave BS&T the boost they needed.
After Cooper left the Record company decided to make a pop band. They went from a serious musical experiment to something closer to the Archies.
This narration is pathetic
Can you talk a little slower?
Painfully, awkward narration. Hard to listen to.
I saw BST in concert once in the 90s -- they were actually very good live.
Can you talk any sloooooowerrr?
Play at 1.5x speed and it’s about right.
Great topic, terrible host.
AI
Al Kopper left, and a lead singer who sucked was hired.
is this man suffering from old age? i loved this album but this guy suffers from altsheimers?
They got old…. Pretty much it. 🤣
One good album and then they sucked
Two…..
Agree. Kooper's debut BS&T and the first with DCT were both exceptional. After that, spotty at best.
@@jackielitten2865 What? "No Sweat" was a great album.
BS&T 4 is very good album. Not a bad song on it. Go Down Gambling and Cowboys and Indians both highlights. Great playing by all members and great production.
@@warrenadams2793 agree! Loved every song off 4.
Oh good. Another video I don't have to watch.
who cares ????
I do. B,S & T were really good at the time and were a big part of the music world during their heights.
Without AL KOOPER... all they were was session musicians
Sounds like your slighting session musicians "all they were" very insulting
james=jerk!
