I was a Blues Project fan also and loved "Flute Thing." What BS&T turned into after this was pathetic. I hate "Spinnng Wheel" and what they did to Laura Nyro's "And When I Die." For me this album was early intro to jazz. This was a great album. I was a Blues Project fan also and loved “Flute Thing.” What BS&T turned into after this was pathetic.

It was the innovation of the BS&T arrangements on that first album that still stands out for me.

Not only are the players better in BS&T, the arrangements are superior to anything that Chicago ever did in that area. I don't agree.

Kooper sounds not only like he *really* has the blues, but that he just might go off the rails. I picked up a copy of the solo album he released after this one, "I Stand Alone," and even though it was similar in spirit in many ways, the energy level was a huge dip below what he did on "Child." It was a big let-down in spite of some good moments. I haven't heard any evidence yet that he topped this one.<br><br>Also, I found it amusing that the end part of "Blues - Part II" on the second album is basically an extension of "Somethin' Goin' On." And also that the big hit single "You've Made Me So Very Happy" was arranged by Kooper. What a way to leave the group!
