The Blues Walk

~ Song

Annotation

"The Blues Walk", aka "Loose Walk", has been credited to Clifford Brown and Sonny Stitt, respectively, under these titles.
They are the earliest titles known for the second chorus of a blues melody written by alto saxophonist Chris Woods.
When Woods's 1952 recording of the tune was issued more than a decade later, he called the piece "Somebody Done Stole My Blues"
