Description of Jazz Blues

Jazz Blues has solid roots in the blues but incorporates the varied and more up-tempo sounds of jazz. Artists in this style typically incorporate jazz improvisation into numbers with classic three-chord blues structures. Jazz Blues covers everything from pianist Mose Allison's jazz-oriented work to the firmly-rooted blues of guitar player Lonnie Johnson, as well as the soulful, genre-bending piano blues of Ray Charles.
