Orpheus10’s Grant Green clip illustrates perfectly both the obvious overlaps between Blues and Jazz and the problem and futility of attempts to make a strict distinction between the two genres. Not to mention that it answers beautifully his own question “Tell me what the two have in common?”. The answer, of course, is “a lot”.
What I mean is that I would be willing to wager my mint condition Muddy Waters records (or Miles records, your pick 😎) that at least half of all listeners, if asked whether that clip is Blues or Jazz without knowing the title, would say “Jazz”.
Nice clip.
