I'm going to cleanse my palate of today's idiocies by listing 5 jazz standards that are 12-bar-blues even tho' you might not hear it at 1st.

Parker's Mohawk, be-bop yes but a clandestine 12-bar-blues (like Relaxin' At Camarillo). Love the young Monk's solo.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0ttQZ-QaNE …
-
Coltrane's Equinox. Here the blues form is closer to the surface but it's so overwhelmingly Coltrane, I missed it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5m2HN2y0yV8 …

Straight No Chaser is angular modernist Monk–also a 12-bar-blues. What a wonderful form, we're so lucky to have it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVb9e1DgKJ4 …

This is maybe my favorite example of what I like to call "extended harmony" blues
-
Which is to say a blue melody unconventionally supported.
-
Naima by Saint John Coltrane is also a fantastic example of this style of harmonization
