Subject: RE: Obit: Danny Kalb, Blues Guitarist (1942-2022) From: Thomas Stern Date: 23 Nov 22 - 08:51 PM RIP I enjoyed The Blues Project albums back in the day. Initially released on the VERVE FOLKWAYS label, later changed to VERVE FORECAST. Elektra issued an album titled THE BLUES PROJECT - NOT the later Blues Project (band) - EKL 264/EKS 7264 - The Blues Project - Various Artists [1964] Bob Landy, who appears on this album playing "Treble Piano" on the track "Downtown Blues," is really Bob Dylan, with the letters of his last name scrambled. Obviously, this album is not to be confused with the Al Kooper/Steve Katz group of the same name that recorded for Verve/Forecast; the only thing this album and the later band had in common was Danny Kalb. It is possible, however, that the Kooper/Katz group was named after this LP. Dave Ray Eric Von Schmidt John Koerner Geoff Muldaur Dave Van Ronk Ian Buchanan Danny Kalb Mark Spoelstra In the UK The CAFE AU GO GO album was reissued with bonus tracks, c.2004 by Acadia/Evangeline. The Blues Project's last hurrah was at the Monterey International Pop Festival held in Monterey, California, in June 1967. By this time, however, half the original line-up was gone. Kooper had formed his own band and played at the festival as well. Katz left soon thereafter, followed by Kalb. A fourth album, 1968's Planned Obsolescence, featured only Blumenfeld and Kulberg from the original lineup, but was released under the Blues Project name at Verve's insistence. Future recordings by this lineup would be released under a new band name, SEATRAIN. KEYHOLE xxxx CD 2014 Live at the Matrix September 1966 FLYING HORSES Records Ltd.
