Title:  Projections

Date:  1966

Label:  Verve/Folkways Records FTS - 3008

Cover Design: Ken Kendall

Notes:  The second release for the Project proves to be a nice step in the right direction. Al Kooper's gospel tinged performance, some nice flute work (a precursor to the sound that would become Blood, Sweat and Tears) and the overall appreciation for the blues pulls this album together. Playing their music in the village at the Cafe Au Go Go and Centrl Park they were able to bring some of the musical "underground" to light. Great stuff! The cover photos show the guys as they are. Nothing fancy here.

Line Up:

Al Kooper - keyboards
Danny Kalb - guitar
