Jazz / Blues

I didn't know Bobby Veltre, but he sure rocks here!
(Sorry, I don't mean to input more confusion into this jazz - blues discussion. Just forget about the word rock :)

I think almost every jazz guitarist can play the blues. Maybe not like those blues men we all know, but they (we) can't play also like those greatest jazz players...

Often jazz guitarists don't play more blues because it is not so interesting... after all, it is always variations on the same song...

I have seen versions of standards more distant from the original than any blues that I know is different from another blues!

The traditional blues players have a technique that insists on the feeling rather than imagination, on predefined /personal/ licks rather than harmony exploration.

PS: I love to hear a good blues, once in awhile. And that version o Straight no chaser is great.

a nice feedback :)

Nicely put.
