Post by Jacob King »

Here’s a video of me playing “C Jam Blues.” This has always been one of my favorite blues/jazz song to play!

great playing!

I believe the song is Barney Kessel's Contemporary Blues.

Buddy Emmons was a big Kessel fan and said his song At E's was inspired by Barney's Blues though it also bears a strong similarity to Kessel's intro to Duke Ellington's I Let A Song Go Out Of My Heart
