Jazz is not Blues and Blues is not Jazz.......

Two left ears:

I don’t really know whether your comment about jazz and blues is meant to be sardonic. 
Please see

for starters. 

@edcyn, I know what you mean with your "fussy, smug" characterization of some Jazz guitar playing. There is one guitarist who doesn’t play Jazz that way, and he’s also great at Blues, Hillbilly, Rockabilly, 50’s Rock ’n’ Roll, and just about any other music that can be played on six strings: Danny Gatton. He is a true musician’s musician (Vince Gill, himself a mighty fine player, nicknamed him "The Humbler"). He’s no longer with us, but most of his many albums are pretty easy to find. There is also a 2-CD retrospective collection on Rhino Records.

Whatjd, don't let all this talk confuse you, it is as you say it is, not as they desire.

Blues people and jazz people are as different as night and day, even when they look alike. First, lets not beat around the bush, blues is defined as "Delta Blues" or some derivative thereof, not as one of those "jazz tunes" with Blues in the title.

The jazz center of the world is New York city, not Jackson or Clarksdale Mississippi.

Most Blues musicians have picked cotton, most jazz musicians have not; that is also a classic cultural difference. I could go on indefinitely, but I wont, I believe you get the picture.

**** not as one of those "jazz tunes" with Blues in the title.****

Honest question.  What, then, would YOU call that tune in your Grant Green clip?  It uses the standard 12 bar Blues form, sounds like a Blues (in part) and has “Blues” in the title; but was played by musicians known primarily as Jazz players.  What was the point you were making by posting it?  Thanks.
