"Child Is the Father to the Man" is a song cycle complete with orchestral overture and tongue in cheek "underture." Kooper was right about adding a brass section. Songs like "I'll Love You More Than You'll Ever Know", "I Can't Quit Her" and "My Days are Numbered" in hindsight are unimaginable without the horn arrangements done by alto sax player Fred Lipsius and Kooper. A lot of the horn arrangements are profoundly influenced by the post-beat era big bands like Maynard Ferguson Big Band and the Mingus Big Band.
