Can someone recommend me any recordings that demonstrate what a good Jazz Blues sounds like? I'm not exactly a Jazz expert but would like to attend a Jazz session or two with my drummer sometime to see if I can cope with some easy standards.
Thing is, I still don't get how to play Walking bass in a blues, last time I tried it, it sounded horrible, mainly because it was kind of hard to avoid the thirds like I always do when I play "normal" blues riffs.
Can someone recommend me some neat "jazzy" blues songs? |
