Blues for Organissimo

[Stevie Mclean]

As a sister thread to the song names with colour thread, let's post any songs played or written by Jazz musicians that have blue in the title.

I am unsure whether this list should be limited to songs that are the blues or any song that has blue in the title.

I also think it might be better to only allow one song per post/until someone else posts, to limit one person from ruining all the fun in one go.

I'll start with:

"Blues-Blues-Blues" - Freddie Redd

Edit: I have made a Spotify playlist of all the songs mentioned in this thread. I will try to keep it updated.
