   Actually, everyone that had a hand in developing Jazz as a valid musical 
form was from Europe or Africa, either directly or just one or a few 
generations away.  So, it always has been kind of a universal music.  The 
core idea of this music is qauite simple and came right out of Ragtime...take 
a tune and syncopate it...jazz it up.
