I did have a vague notion that Blue Mitchell had more of jazz background. I guess the line between blues and jazz can get quite blurry.
Thank you for all those T-Bone Walker links. I checked them out. A couple of the songs were familiar...whether I’d heard his version or covers (more likely) years later...e.g., Last Clean Shirt. The clip I liked best was definitely Jazz at the Philharmonic. (Going to Chicago another familiar one). That’s quite a backing band T-Bone is working with. That hollow body of his is seems huge. Interesting way he has of holding it. Thanks for sharing.
Orpheus - I’ll be reading with interest replies to your "throw down" :-) about the Blues!
Only thing I’m going to chime in with (think of this like a course from Father Guido Sarducci’s Five Minute University) is...
1. Delta (Acoustic/Country-derived) Blues (Clarksdale, MS; Sonhouse & Robert Johnson) >>
2. Electric Blues (Chicago, Detroit; Muddy Waters & Howlin’ Wolf) >>
3. British Invasion (Yardbirds & Mayall’s Bluesbreakers...esp., Beck, Clapton, Green & Page). But domestically, can’t ignore Paul Butterfield & Mike Bloomfield.
It’s this 3rd gen iteration of the blues as played by a lot of Brits (don't forget the Rolling Stones) that introduced me and shaped my tastes.
