Founded in New York City in 1967, Blood, Sweat and Tears (also know as BS&T), is the band synonymous with the musical idiom of “Jazz-Rock”. Sometimes known as “Fusion”, Jazz-Rock emerged during the late 60’s as an attempt to “fuse” the visceral power of rock music with the musical complexity and improvisational energy of jazz music. BS&T were pioneers of this new and exciting musical idiom and made excellent use of a rock instrumental rhythm section combined with a sophisticated and studied horn ensemble. Add to these components exceptional song writing and a powerful lead vocal and the rest is history.

‍Fast forward to 2024, Blood, Sweat and Years - The Tribute takes flight featuring a stellar roster of veteran artists who grew up during the 60’s and witnessed the evolution of jazz-rock and the iconic band Blood, Sweat and Tears. Comprised of a four piece rhythm section (guitar, bass, drums and piano/organ), a five piece horn section (two trumpets, trombone and two saxes) and featuring recording artist, Julius Ray Pittman on lead vocals, Blood, Sweat and Years is dedicated to bringing the BS&T songbook of hits and their legendary jazz arrangements to a new and exciting level. Join us for an evening of truly inspired music.
