The innovativeness of jazz rock is evident in their debut work.
"Child Is Father To The Man" is a monumental work that defined Blood, Sweat & Tears' musical style. The horn section was at the forefront of the band's fresh sound, and the fusion of rock and jazz was a brilliant achievement. It was a masterpiece that had a huge impact on the music scene in the late 60s.
