response: I cannot think of any, but there are many distinctive jazz styles all over and from different cultures.
history: I love jazz. I listen to it whilst working and studying. Many people see Jazz music as "America's classical music." I can see why, so many popular Jazz musicians are from old US. Did you also know that it has been recognized as a musical expression form since the 1920s? No, I didn't actually know it has been around for so long. I always felt like it was mid 50s and developed from various regional stuff.
knowledge: As jazz spread around the world, it drew on different national, regional, and local musical cultures, which gave rise to many distinctive styles.
