The Blues Project was an American blues rock band formed in Greenwich Village, New York City in 1965. The original lineup consisted of Danny Kalb on guitar and vocals, Steve Katz on guitar and vocals, Andy Kulberg on bass and flute, Roy Blumenfeld on drums, and Al Kooper on keyboards and vocals.

The band's sound was a fusion of blues, rock, folk, and jazz, and they quickly gained a following in the Greenwich Village music scene. They signed to Verve Records in 1965 and released their debut album, "Live at The Cafe Au Go Go," which showcased their eclectic sound and improvisational skills.

In 1966, Al Kooper left the band to form Blood, Sweat & Tears, and he was replaced by Tommy Flanders on vocals. The Blues Project released their second album, "Projections," later that year, which included the hit single "No Time Like the Right Time." The album featured a mix of original songs and covers of blues and folk classics.

The band continued to tour and record throughout the late 1960s, but their lineup changed frequently, with several members leaving to pursue other projects. They released two more albums, "Planned Obsolescence" in 1968 and "Reunion in Central Park" in 1972, before disbanding in 1972.

Despite their relatively short career, The Blues Project had a significant influence on the development of blues rock and helped to establish the Greenwich Village music scene as a hub for new and innovative music in the 1960s. Their music continues to be celebrated by fans of the genre and their albums are considered classics of the era.
