The jazz blues chord progression is one of the most important types of jazz chord progressions. It’s been recorded on thousands of jazz records, and it’s surprisingly challenging to play over.
When you are learning jazz guitar, it’s important to get the sound of a “jazz blues” internalized. Eventually, you will draw upon the jazz-blues changes, even when you’re playing over a standard blues.
