    Jazz gave birth to hiphop, rap, r&b, techno, classic rock and roll and a hundred other genres. It is a clash of black, latine, and working class white history and passion.

    It also evolved parallel to samba, bossa nova, blues, and other dissonance and rhythm based genres.

    Taste is subjective but jazz is for sure a HUGE qualifier towards taste and from it have arisen thousands of subgenres which hundreds of millions of people enjoy.

      What nonsense is this? Jazz influenced those but so did other genres, none of them “gave birth” to them.
