Since its beginnings in 1967, the band has gone through numerous iterations with varying personnel and has encompassed a multitude of musical styles. What the band is most known for, from its start, is the fusing of rock, blues, pop music, horn arrangements and jazz improvisation into a hybrid that came to be known as \"jazz-rock\". Unlike \"jazz fusion\" bands, which tend toward virtuostic displays of instrumental facility and some experimentation with electric instruments, the songs of Blood, Sweat \u0026amp; Tears merged the stylings of rock, pop and R\u0026amp;B/soul music with big band, while also adding elements of 20th Century Classical and small combo jazz traditions.\u003c/p\u003e","musicPath":"/music/Blood+Sweat+Tears","playStationPath":"/stations/113281566/play","stationId":113281566,"bioPath":"/music/Blood+Sweat+Tears/_full_bio","similars":[{"musicPath":"/music/Johnny+Rivers","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/0f4/0f4b59ed277b0a12274c45b9b8c688e5_md.jpg","artistName":"Johnny Rivers","artistId":12197,"station_id":113359474},{"musicPath":"/music/Steve+Miller+Band","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/d4d/d4d7989c4de9573d600dfda4fb98efc9_md.jpg","artistName":"Steve Miller Band","artistId":2449,"station_id":113282095},{"musicPath":"/music/Herman+s+Hermits","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/c36/c3684ddd8568ebb48c1237ef261ca18d_md.jpg","artistName":"Herman's Hermits","artistId":12183,"station_id":113267254},{"musicPath":"/music/Bob+Seger+The+Silver+Bullet+Band","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/ed8/ed8f7920406b260506a5ba9a882976f8_md.jpg","artistName":"Bob Seger \u0026 The Silver Bullet Band","artistId":5777,"station_id":113293678},{"musicPath":"/music/Them","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/132/1325a92751f18903442c699d5bb6f82a_md.jpg","artistName":"Them","artistId":4483,"station_id":113367647},{"musicPath":"/music/Joe+Cocker","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/8fa/8fa86bba062705f5fe791415da3f300c_md.jpg","artistName":"Joe Cocker","artistId":885,"station_id":113266733},{"musicPath":"/music/Iron+Butterfly","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/4b1/4b19ae42e16401a7a23c31154995113c_md.jpg","artistName":"Iron Butterfly","artistId":2188,"station_id":113278205},{"musicPath":"/music/Bob+Seger","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/a45/a45a9fb423ee17263342a235c976c2cf_md.jpg","artistName":"Bob Seger","artistId":9801,"station_id":113265620},{"musicPath":"/music/Linda+Ronstadt","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/5e6/5e632c1b4f1e2e1d520d082323bfa3b8_md.jpg","artistName":"Linda Ronstadt","artistId":2426,"station_id":113263473},{"musicPath":"/music/The+Spencer+Davis+Group","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/ba2/ba25b3b7a377493705749c1b8dbc2974_md.jpg","artistName":"The Spencer Davis Group","artistId":5956,"station_id":113304954},{"musicPath":"/music/Van+Morrison","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/49b/49ba70674e1d72d7bc86187266ed77f3_md.jpg","artistName":"Van Morrison","artistId":800,"station_id":113262088},{"musicPath":"/music/Humble+Pie","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/df4/df4228eba8a3df6994322e49a4e89240_md.jpg","artistName":"Humble Pie","artistId":10083,"station_id":113289368},{"musicPath":"/music/Creedence+Clearwater+Revival","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/0e1/0e12f3c8aaa2d435dab5bfa326ddbbaa_md.jpg","artistName":"Creedence Clearwater Revival","artistId":276,"station_id":113261988},{"musicPath":"/music/Sonny+Cher","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/029/0291893ddf530424fae19a766deeee44_md.jpg","artistName":"Sonny \u0026 Cher","artistId":80123,"station_id":308642148},{"musicPath":"/music/Styx","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/ffd/ffdba98b55f051abd07e0b141ff3e7ca_md.jpg","artistName":"Styx","artistId":1879,"station_id":113261981},{"musicPath":"/music/Grand+Funk+Railroad","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/ce8/ce82de4fe0edc162d3122680f839935b_md.jpg","artistName":"Grand Funk Railroad","artistId":10591,"station_id":113287216},{"musicPath":"/music/The+Animals","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/728/7286802466f34372455a66d4ca1390ab_md.jpg","artistName":"The Animals","artistId":713,"station_id":113277239},{"musicPath":"/music/Stephen+Stills","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/d59/d598df1040714ea54d9e5d12fc55b667_md.jpg","artistName":"Stephen Stills","artistId":13367,"station_id":113665286}]}
