Blues 'N' Jazz is the 29th album by B.B. King released in 1983. It was recorded on his 58th birthday, September 16, 1983.
Writing in the album sleeve-notes, producer Sid Seidenberg says: "Recording his forty-first album on his birthday in New York was a highlight of B.B.'s career. Returning from one of his most successful tours, in Europe where he played at most of the continent's jazz festivals. B.B. King went into the studio with 'his friends' from Blues and Jazz and began to express himself."[1]
Eugene Chadbourne reviewed the album for AllMusic.
The album won a Grammy Award for best blues album of 1983.
