Overlap would be in the ears and thoughts of the listener. And if people want to think of Blues/Jazz like Country/Rock or Military/Intelligence that is their right.
Jazz is not Blues and Blues is not Jazz.......
I have been a music fan all my life and listen to classic Jazz and female vocals mostly. I did not see this throughout most of my life, but now some internet sites and more seem to lump Jazz and Blues into the same thought.
B.B. King is great, but he is not Jazz. Paul Desmond is great, but he is not Blues.
Perhaps next Buck Owens will be considered Blues, or Lawrence Welk or let's have Buddy Holly as a Jazz artist?
Trite, trivial and ill informed, it is all the rage in politics, why not music?

Each to his/her own, and freedom to like whatever one likes. But like country-rock, "lite-classical, and other hybrids...some may like and some may not. As much as I like B.B. King, I do not consider him Jazz and I do not consider Paul Desmond Blues. and I do believe that singers blur that line more often...like Ella and Dinah Washington. Have fun, enjoy what you listen to ...even if that is Ernest Tubb. |
A link to some "internet info" on Mr. King. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B.B._King Jazz and Blues have been such a help in the esoteric end of better recordings and software...records, CDs...etc. Most music forms can continue the growth and excellence of recorded music,....with some potential exceptions. Although I have to admit KC and the Sunshine Band were quite influential. |
