what's the exact quote where joe bonamassa said a solo has to begin and end with the blues?
but can have jazz, heavy metal, whatever in the middle?
Here's an excerpt from an interview with Joe Bonamassa from Ivan Chopik in 2007, the full link is in the research. I CAPS LOCKED his quote for you 
IC: ...In a fairly traditionalist kind of community, you’re still able to stretch boundaries while still maintaining the strong blues roots and the blues audience.
JB: I’ll tell you what – it’s hard, because the traditionalist community doesn’t really believe in their heart of hearts that I am Blues. They think I’m masquerading and trying to hijack the media... at least in some message board discussions about me… IN MY CORE, EVERYTHING I PLAY STARTS AND ENDS WITH THE BLUES, AND THAT BECOMES THE REAL THING. To me, it’s the same way Eric Clapton says ‘Everything I do starts and ends with the blues.’ And I steal the quote from him, because it really is.
