Can anybody suggest jazz heads for the good old fashioned blues: I/ IV/I/I/ IV/IV/I/I/V/IV/I/V.
I've found Blue Seven and Bessie's Blues. There must be a bunch more. Thanks.

Coltrane's Up Against The Wall is a nice one.

Things Ain't What They Used to Be (Ellington)
Saturday Night Blues (Kenny Burrell)
Blue Monk (the head is just V V I + a turnaround rather than V IV I + turnaround, but soloing lots of people solo on V IV I)
Freddie Freeloader, sort of. The turnaround is just two bars of Ab7, but you can do at as a "blues blues"
Pretty much any blues head actually works on either "blues blues" or "jazz blues changes". Nobody will arrest you or throw things at you if you do it one one or the other.

Thanks John A, and you answered my question about mixing 'em up without my having to ask.

Lemme check my "Nothin' BUT the BLUES" iTunes playlist of 1,248 songs that I've compiled...
Here are some of the A's on my list
Ad-Lib Blues by Charlie Christian:
Ain't Nobody Here But Us Chickens:
After Hours Blues:
And for extra credit:
Lemme tell you, when that song was initially recommended to me for learning how to play a jazz blues... I was dumbfounded. Now, I understand
Home, guitar playing and travel
