by Blood, Sweat & Tears

Child Is Father to the Man cover art

'Child Is Father to the Man' showcases Blood, Sweat & Tears' pioneering fusion of rock with sophisticated jazz and classical elements, a sound driven by founder Al Kooper's expansive musical vision. The album combines Kooper's ambitious, bluesy songwriting and distinctive vocals with lush horn and string arrangements, captured with dynamic immediacy by producer John Simon. As the sole album featuring Kooper before his contentious departure, it stands as the purest and most eclectic realization of his original jazz-rock concept.
