	Al Kooper - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Al Kooper (born February 5, 1944) is an American songwriter and musician, probably best known for organizing the group Blood, Sweat and Tears.
		Kooper had been invited to the session as an observer, and hoped to be allowed to sit in on guitar, his primary instrument.
		Kooper also wrote the score for the TV series, Crime Story, and has also written music for several made-for-television movies.

	AOL Music: Al Kooper
		Kooper was born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1944, the son of Sam and Natalie Kooper.
		Kooper later played as part of the band that backed Dylan when he introduced electric music to the Newport Folk Festival in 1965, and was on the Blonde on Blonde album as well.
		Kooper 's other major contribution during his tenure at Columbia was signing the Zombies, a British Invasion-era band that hadn't charted a single in two years, for one album.

	Al Kooper with The Blues Project and Blood, Sweat and Tears
		Kooper also started using the creepy space-age ondioline at this time, which is a odd precursor to the synthesizer, and sounds like high-pitched electronic bagpipes.
		The real trick is that Kooper keeps the group focused, which is probably the large difference from The Electric Flag, where Bloomfield, Brooks and electric pianist Barry Goldberg (who shows up on a couple of tracks) came from.
		Kooper may be mainly know as a keyboardist, but he also shows himself to be a decent guitarist occasionally.

	Kooper Interview
		Kooper mentions that during his involvement with The Blues Project, he used his multi-instrumental ability to make tapes of entire arrangements--keyboards, guitars, and drums--that the band could learn the tunes from.
		And it was from listening to Jimmy Smith that Kooper picked up what he calls the "rocket ship" technique, in which all the drawbars are pushed in to begin with, then pulled out sloly one at a time while a thick cluster is held on the manual.
		Kooper feels that the numerous new keyboard instruments such as synthesizers are opening up valid creative avenues which are, on the negative side, paved with obsolescence.

	Al Kooper Biography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Kooper's biggest hit as a songwriter came in late 1964, with a song that he co-authored with Bob Brass and Irwin Levine called "This Diamond Ring" -- they'd written it with the Drifters in mind, but the legendary R&B group passed, and it ended up in the hands of Liberty Records producer Snuff Garrett.
		Kooper's other major contribution during his tenure at Columbia was signing the Zombies, a British Invasion-era band that hadn't charted a single in two years, for one album.
		The least prominent of Kooper's projects during this era, ironically enough, was his solo album I Stand Alone, on which he cut new versions of songs he'd written or been associated with over the previous decade.

	Super Session by Bloomfield, Kooper, Stills - Web-Helper.net
		The little-known Kooper has been around the music scene as much as anybody has, involved in sessions or production for everybody from Bob Dylan to Lynyrd Skynyrd and Bloomfield was noted as one of the finest blues guitarists around.
		Kooper, who is known as a master producer, decided the track needed horns, so he overdubbed them into the recording for release.
		Kooper needed someone to replace him and got ahold of a very young Stephen Stills, who up to that point had been mostly known for his work with the Buffalo Springfield.

	'Nobody invited me' \| The San Diego Union-Tribune
		For despite his lack of wide renown, Kooper is a visionary figure in rock 'n' roll; revered among his peers but largely unknown to the unwashed masses.
		Now officially a bigwig, Kooper was asked to join the Blues Project, a wildly eclectic, eccentric group that performed a peculiar but prophetic mix of blues, jazz, gospel, psychedelia, folk and pop.
		Kooper has been in a state of semiwithdrawal as a solo artist since, but he didn't exactly become complacent.

	VH1.com : Blood, Sweat & Tears : Biography
		Kooper hoped to raise enough cash to get to London (where he would put such a band together) through a series of gigs involving some big-name friends in New York.
		Kooper agreed, as long as he was in charge musically -- having just come off of the Blues Project, who'd been organized as a complete cooperative and essentially voted themselves out of existence, he was only prepared to throw into another band if he were calling the shots.
		This became the group that Kooper had visualized; it would have a horn section that would be as out front as Kooper 's keyboards or Katz 's guitar.

		Kooper's ability to recharge the batteries of the little-big-band sound that was the stuff early rock and roll and the greatest soul hits were made of is estimable.

		Nonetheless, Kooper's been a soul man since the '50s, even if his earliest hits -- "Short Shorts" in '58 as a member of the Royal Teens and the '65 smash "This Diamond Ring" which he co-wrote for Gary Lewis and the Playboys -- don't rock that way.
		Kooper brought his guitar, figuring he'd sit in; but he found that the great blues guitarist Mike Bloomfield was already booked.

		On his own, however, Kooper's music may not be as well-known as the people he has worked with, though his own output has remained relatively consistent and arguably good.
		Kooper could be considered a faithful disciple of the blues and soul throughout his long forty-plus year career.
		Even at the age of 57, Kooper was dazzling behind the keys whether it was adding exquisite yet complex flourishes or grinding behind the organ to lend an earthy feel.

		A seasoned bandleader and veteran session player, Al Kooper is one of the psychedelic era’s most prominent and prolific keyboardists.
		Pulling up a chair next to one slightly confused audience member, Kooper watched his own band finish out his song, mumbling from his headset microphone "Great band, huh." It was the type of novelty expected in a high-school play, not a classic rock show.
		Surprisingly, Kooper's band-which hence its moniker is composed of teachers-is actually quite schooled in jazz and funk.

	Mike Bloomfield, Al Kooper, Steven Stills: Supersession [extra tracks] - PopMatters Music Review
		Al Kooper, the human superglue that still holds Bloomfield-Kooper mythos intact, is by no means a slouch himself.
		Kooper laid his hands on this French invention by Jean Jacques Perry and came up with "His Holy Modal Majesty", a wild instrumental experimentation which summons up sonic memories of bagpipes transforming into Bulgarian harmonies.
		Kooper, perhaps exhibiting grace under pressure but certainly always there to be relied upon, hastily rounded up Stephen Stills to fill out the other side.

		Kooper also produced records by the Tubes, B.B. King, Nils Lofgren, and Joe Ely, among many others, during the '70s, and he found time during that decade to write what remains the best book ever written about rock and roll from an insider's perspective, Backstage Passes.
		By the end of the afternoon, Kooper had found his way to the organ in the studio and played the signature riff on the song that, arguably, took Dylan from Folk icon to ROCK GOD status.

		Clearly, Kooper had more than just jazz in mind when he put together this album, for the end result was one of the most diverse, undefinable musical statements ever released.
		While Kooper may not have had that in mind, the other members apparently did, for by the end of 1968, Kooper had been sacked, and his own band was moving in a totally different direction for their next album.
		Critics of Kooper frequently comment on his tendency to overreach both on his vocals and the scope of his musical ambitions, but on his Blood Sweat and Tears sessions Kooper succeeds by restraining himself from overindulgence.

		It was a blues supergroup of sorts: keyboardist Al Kooper formerly of Blood Sweat and Tears, guitarist Mike Bloomfield late of the Paul Butterfield Blues Band and the Electric Flag, and guitarist Stephen Stills of Buffalo Springfield fame.
		It should be prefaced, however that Bloomfield and Stills were not playing guitar together at the same time in teh same studio; Bloomfield recorded his parts and left, leaving Kooper to recruit Stills to finish the rest of the sessions.
		Fans of Kooper and the late Bloomfield will relish upon the release of this live concert from New York's famed rock venue from late 1968.

		Kooper presents himself as highly intelligent and rather dim-witted, super-talented and incompetent, ballsy and timid, humble and an egomaniac, sensitive and brutish, forgiving and revengeful -- sort of like a real human being!
		Kooper's accounting of himself and his personal musical endeavor's however were so captivating and humorous that I checked out his compilation CD (Rare and Well Done) and LOVED it!
