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.
