Bessie's Blues is a jazz blues tune composed by John Coltrane in 1964. It is a 12-bar blues in 4/4 time, typically in the key of Eb, and it features more traditional changes than some of Coltrane’s earlier blues pieces. The first recording and release were by The John Coltrane Quartet on April 27, 1964; the album name is not given in the provided content. Since then it has become a standard in the jazz repertoire and has been covered by many artists, including McCoy Tyner, Chick Corea Akoustic Band, Roland Kirk, and others.
