Johnny Winter , (RIP), played a progressive Blues style when he improvised and actually more than most guitarists on the planet. Check out "Second Winter" the remastered issue which features a live cd. He plays over a 4 chord, 4 bar Blues progression, producing some technical Jazzy riffs and extensive note passages to boot. A real master on the electric guitar.

Probably mentioned before and I haven't read each page of this thread...but Spooky Tooth would be ideal candidates for a touch of Prog Blues. Also the band Juicy Lucy seemed to enter progressive areas throughout their first 3 albums.

How about Bullet, by Renaissance?  Bluesy to start, but moves into experimental/psychedelic territory.

Jazabell Gables (Flyin' High, 1978 LP) by Joey Long is an excellent example of progressive blues-rock, i.e. prog that came from blues-rock. Prog can come from almost any sub-genre of rock & pop music, especially today.

I swear that the term "progressive blues" has crossed my mind on several occasions; now if I could only remember the bands I was referencing with said term...

LOL

Progressive rock combines a lot of different elements and blues certainly is one influence among others, so I find that happens something on a song or a part of a song bluesy on classic prog rock albums.
I don't know if Colosseum was already mentioned, 'cause I didn't read to all 8 pages of the thread, but it came instantanealy to my mind when I saw the topic title.

If it hasn't been mentioned yet, Jumbo (the Italian band) embodies Prog Blues as much as Captain Beefheart.

Most British hardrock bands before 1971. Not really sure what happened after that.  It was probably Progs fault or Jethro Tull's, or both.

Early Jethro Tull is a fine example on their first album. Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band.

Good call..both proggy and jazzy at times.
