If you want something in a slow instrumental blues, my piece "Blue Hunter", a 16-bar blues with a cool turnaround, might fit the bill.  You can hear a recording with guitar accompaniment by Jerome Harris at:

You can also check out the solo pieces on offer there--by definition, they're showcases for harmonica, and many of them could easily be rearranged to include accompaniment.
