'''Blood, Sweat & Tears''' is an American jazz rock band, active since 1968. They fused rock, blues, pop music, horn arrangements and jazz improvisation together.

The group was produced by [[James William Guercio]]. Bassist [[Jim Fielder]] originally played with Frank Zappa's Mothers Of Invention.

After falling out with [[Herb Cohen]] Blood, Sweat & Tears' manager [[Bennett Glozer]] briefly became Zappa's manager in 1977.

==Zappa references to the group==

Zappa mocked Blood, Sweat & Tears a few times in his work.

In ''[[I Could Be A Star Now]]'' [[Don Preston]] is informed by [[Jeff Simmons]] that he is wasting his life in Zappa's band and that he ''"could have been writing (...) far out exciting blues with Blood, Sweat & Tears."''

In the ''[[Dub Room Special]]'' the Mothers all perform ''[[Approximate]]'' without actually making a sound. Zappa then informs the tv audience: ''"That's the way Blood, Sweat & Tears would do it, only there would be a tape running in the background."''
