Description

So much jazz has roots in the blues, but this style is a closer hybrid of two. Blues Jazz starts with the steady beat and classic chord structure of the blues and laces it with instrumental improvisation. It developed in the 1940s and '50s in the jazz-friendly blues of artists like Roy Milton and his Solid Senders, and in the swinging vocals of Jimmy Rushing.
