And, clearly, as you say, there's also the difference in the "blues" vs "jazz blues" case that the chords in the latter are almost always more sophisticated than just yer straightforward I IV V.

It's a shame so many players in the 60's/70's never got into the rich history of 'jazzier blues' and instead stuck with hammering an A pent over A min exclusively.
Currently watching/listening to this (there's a chap who talks first for a few minutes, you can probably skip him).

Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
My favourite act in recent years are the marvelous GoGo Penguin. Anyone who enjoys EST or similar will no doubt hear some similarities, but I actually prefer GGP - I think they take this style to a new dimension.
The guitar break in this next one is *chefs kiss*
As for groups, I can highly recommend Ezra Collective. There are a lot of talented younger British kids who are mixing dance rhythms with jazz inspirations and coming up with things which are brilliant.
They feature on a recent compilation called Blue Note Reimagined, which features other newer artists and is well worth a listen.
That's the main thing.
A secondary thing would be adding diminished chords between the changes, or a 251 in certain places, for example on the way from the I to the IV chord, you can do a 251 in the key of the IV chord.
Supportact said: [my style is] probably more an accumulation of limitations and bad habits than a 'style'.
Increasingly, the label doesn't mean much, does it?

In the late 1940s we start getting bebop and early electric blues ( Muddy Waters' I Can't be Satisfied pretty much the blueprint for Chicago blues released in 1948), the end of the Race Records category in 1949, By 1951 the arrival of the first rock'n'roll recordings as well. From 1940 onwards The Second Great Migration meant 5 million black people in the USA moving from the rural South to the cities of the North and these new styles developing.
So, I think the genres started separating out in the late 1940s. But plenty of people still going across genres; pop session aces like James Jamerson and Tommy Tedesco had jazz backgrounds, ( jazz guitarist)Kenny Burrell paid the mortgage for a while playing behind BB King. The dozens of differences we can point to between jazz and blues and gospel and RnB weren't always there.
