What makes it “jazz” blues?The straight 12-bar blues sits on I-IV-V the whole way through. This reharmonization adds motion: bar 6 swaps in a passing diminished chord on the way back to I, bar 8 turns into a secondary dominant that leads the ear into bar 9’s ii chord, and bars 9-10 resolve that ii-V into I at bar 11 before the final bar turns the whole form back around. Listening for those ii-V movements — a chord a fifth above resolving down into the next — is the key to hearing (and eventually playing over) jazz changes in general, not just this form.
