Blues 'N' Jazz is a studio album by B.B. King released in 1983 on MCA Records. The title reflects the fusion of blues and jazz that characterizes the record, with arrangements incorporating horn sections and a more sophisticated approach than in previous works.
The album was recorded in Los Angeles and produced by B.B. King himself along with his manager Sidney A. Seidenberg. It features collaborations with prominent session musicians, such as saxophonist David 'Fathead' Newman, and presents a mix of original compositions and covers of blues and jazz classics.
Although not one of King's biggest commercial successes, Blues 'N' Jazz received positive reviews for its musical maturity and its ability to explore new sonic territories without losing the essence of the blues. The album shows B.B. King in full artistic evolution during the 1980s.
