Great song - you can't go wrong with any Horace Silver composition, it's one of the laws of the universe! Great performance by a genuine genius in world where that compliment is too freely given. Taj is not only abundantly talented, he is an amazing innovator too. And big respect to the creator of this video!

I agree that Taj has never gotten the acclaim he deserves. He is the BEST! I saw him live at Jazz Alley in Seattle last Thursday night (packed house)...it was AWESOME!

Senor Blues is what they call him, way donw Mexicali way
Senoritas fallin' for him, with the hope that he will stay
By the time that they love him, Senor Blues done gone away
Well he's tall and good lookin' and he always knows just what to say
Yes he's tall and good lookin' and he always knows just what to say
By the time that they love him, Senor Blues done gone away

@RuiAzul And now im confused

Half of Jazz compositions are Blues based. Cool Blues - Parker. Straight, No Chaser - Monk. Bag's Groove-Milt Jackson, they're all Blues... but with swing and walkin' bass. Rock'n Roll are also Blues compositions . Only poor in harmonic arrangement.

Funny. It's really a Blues, in 12/8, in Eb minor 6. If you count, It goes trought all the changes of the Blues. Only difference is thet Horace Silver uses chord substitutions instead of going to the typical fourth on 9th bar (remember, this is a 24 bar blues, the double of a normal one) he goes B 9 with #11, and the turnback is Bb7 followed by A13 and Eb m6 (again-the root chord. These are the only 4 chords in this Blues. Because Blues can be played in many ways. All Blues, from Miles,is a 6/8.

I was wrong. It is Mick Weaver - Hammond B-3 organ.
