The second key for the Cafe Saxophone blues recordings series is concert C minor. So for Bb saxes that is D minor and Eb saxes will play in A minor.
The guidelines for these threads are that each person who wants to take part chooses their own backing track in whatever style they like, provided that it's in the right key and can be classed as "blues". Then they record their sax playing and link to it from here.
There seem to be lots of good backing tracks on YouTube.
It's up to you whether you want to play a blues with a "head" (tune) or just improvisation.
Some well known blues tunes in concert C minor are:
