Horace Silver - Señor Blues 1959
This is a 12 bar blues in E-Flat Minor. I used to be able to hear that E-Flat, but now it sounds like F to me.

1. You might also enjoy Taj Mahal's version of the song
I know of his version primarily due to the fact that one of my Taj favorites, "Queen Bee," is on his Señor Blues album.

3. I like it.
Same tune, same harmony, different instruments, better fidelity than Horace Silver's 1959 version.

Some listeners might not be used to the 11th and 13th chords in both versions.
