He was a fine guitar player, both acoustic and electric. Most notably he was in the Blues Project in the mid-Sixties (but there were reunions and comeback over the decades). They played a mix of Chuck Berry stuff, folk songs, and a lot of blues. The band was talented; the singing was never great. Al Kooper was in it when he was a big star (playing on Dylan’s early electric stuff), Steve Katz, Andy Kulberg, and Roy Blumenfeld.
The band had members come and go; it broke up after three years. The last members put out an album as the Blues Project, then another one as Seatrain (or Sea Train) with material recorded at the same time.
Kalb picked fast and clean on electric guitar. I have a record he did with Stefan Grossman, as well as backup on records by Judy Collins and Phil Ochs. He was on an Elektra sampler. More when I get to his records.
