Those who say a particular song is/isn't jazz do not know the music. Any song can be a jazz number if played in a jazz style.
What would you call Jambalaya? Country (Hank Williams), Rock 'n Roll/Rhythm 'n Blues (Fats Domino) Jazz (George Lewis et al).

It is how the band/musicians interpret the music. Tiger Rag played by a symphony is not jazz.

My opinion.
