I'm not for or against Jazz because I consider all music genre have the right to exist.
I'm not a Jazz fan but I know Jazz music have many subgenres (Bepop , Big band , Free jazz etc...).
Subgenres of Jazz have also subgenres. For example Hard bop is a descendant of Bepop.
Jazz itself is a blend of many music genre like Blues , Ragtime , Folk etc...
One ascendant of ragtime is cakewalk born before the end of slaving in USA.
No ragtime without cakewalk. No jazz without ragtime.
All music genre are tied directly or indirectly to others.
Each music genre appear in a cultural , social , political and economic context.
As each music genre influence directly or indirectly others.
It does means than some music genre would never exist if some events did never happened.
For example if slaving of black people in USA did never happened cakewalk would never existed then ragtime would never exist etc...
When you understand all music genre appear in a particular historical context you understand the lives of each others is indirectly tied.
Imagine a man and a woman meeting themselves in a bar that is playing Jazz and make a child together.
If slaving of black people in USA did never happened cakewalk would never exist and ragtime too and therefore jazz would never exist.
If jazz did never existed maybe this couple would never meet together and consequently they haven't a child together.
