He's playing at the Warner Theater in DC on April 18th. Amazing he's still going at 85, isn't it? I've seen him once before at Wolf Trap at least 10 years ago and am looking forward to seeing him again. One of the true legends of jazz indeed.
Buddy Lee or APS45819?

Among many others but that is one of the best. One of my favorites is his work with Miles Davis on "Bitches Brew" - the improvisation on "I Fall in Love Too Easily" between the two is absolutely amazing.

Now I know there is a difference but tell me...Blues, yes. Jazz, no. And I do love me some SRV.
...what is it that makes Jazz and Blues different?
Wow, how much time do you have, grasshopper?
Jazz actually came from Blues so there's a lot of commonality there. But they've taken different paths along the way. These two articles go into great detail about the similarities and differences:
Jazz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Blues - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
After reading them, listen to the samples and you will be able to hear the differences...and similarities.

...blues is pattern based, very simple patterns. The drums and the bass do the same thing over and over again, throw in some little accents here and there and provide the backbone of the song which is the story it tells, be it heartbreak, tough times, dog got run over, etc, and then the guitar comes in and tells the story with the emotions of the leads in place of the words.
Words "Damn right, I got the blues..."
then...
Guitar "wanh, wanh, wanh, wanhhhhhhhhhh"
Jazz, allegedly, is pattern based as well but is more free form for the other instruments, the bass, the piano, the drums, than the rigid, repetitive adherence of the rhythm section in blues.
The 'backbone' in jazz can be the drums and/or the bass and/or the piano and/or the guitar, and everyone plays off of that coming back, mysteriously, to the central theme in what amounts to 'how about that!?' moments as opposed to the predictable timing and familiar patterns of blues.
Jazz is basically blues players who suffer, greatly, from attention deficit disorder. People who like it are typically people with far more education than should be allowed. They 'get' it while the rest of us look at it likes cows to an oncoming train. Jazz fans are terrible snobs about the whole thing as well.
There will be a few along shortly to correct me.
