  Blues Project, Anthology   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Blues Project was the name of a single album collection of folk-blues issued by Elektra Records in 1964.
He saw the potential for the blues in the popular music business and put together a band with some like-minded musicians which he then named after the original album, and thus was born The Blues Project.
Compare The Blues Project's version of "Spoonful" with Cream's; both are equally heavy but the Blues Project's is closer in tone to Willie Dixon's original version.

 VH1.com : The Blues Project : Biography
The Blues Project was formed in Greenwich Village in the mid-'60s by guitarist Danny Kalb (who had played sessions for various Elektra folk and folk-rock albums), Steve Katz (a guitarist with Elektra's Even Dozen Jug Band), flutist/bassist Andy Kulberg, drummer Roy Blumenfeld, and singer Tommy Flanders.
Blues by Muddy Waters and Chuck Berry tunes ran alongside covers of contemporary folk-rock songs by Eric Anderson and Patrick Sky, as well as the group's own originals.
Blumenfeld and Kulberg kept the Blues Project going for a fourth album before forming Seatrain, and the group re-formed in the early '70s with various lineups, Kooper rejoining for a live 1973 album, Reunion in Central Park.

 'Highway 61 Revisited: Blues Project'   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Project was precisely what these guys, and their scene, and their audiences, and their times were about.
In their idiosyncratic, sometimes cranky stylistic gropings and reworkings and achievements, the Blues Project encapsulated that extraordinary American moment when folk culture and mass popular culture overlapped, a place where art was possible, however accidentally, in a broad commercial forum, possibly more than at any time before or since.
Flaws and all, the Blues Project and its radiating semihidden influence centered on that -- the element of risk frozen out of American mainstream culture by its neurotic emphasis on security and predictability and banished to the margins.

 Stadium project needs Old Blues' big gifts   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
The clock is ticking, but the project to retrofit Cal's Memorial Stadium, improve the facilities and add space for the law or business school is still in limbo.
There still are discussions on whether the project should be done publicly or privately, how much the university should contribute and whether the facilities improvement, which is most important to football coach Jeff Tedford, should be done first as a separate undertaking.
One of the problems with fund raising for the stadium project may be that associate athletic director Mark Stephens was passed over for the AD's job.

Unlike the previous album there's a fairly consistent tone, but a classically derived intro/outro ("Variations on a Theme by Eric Satie") and jazz/blues solo showcase ("Blues-Part II") are well-performed breaks that continue their debut's legacy.
