This thesis explores the musical specifics of cultural theories that propose a blues aesthetic. Additionally, it examines the strengths and weaknesses of applying a blues-aesthetic lens to musical analysis, including a detailed investigation of Junior Mance’s 1961 solo on “Light and Lovely” and a discussion of Ingrid Monson’s analysis of Jaki Byard’s 1964 recording of “Bass-ment Blues.”
