The jazz and blues crowd out in Vegas all hung together. I don't know if the genres are really connected. Well jazz can be almost anything IMO. Blues is clearly defined by very basic cord structures (not to say blues sucks, its bad ass IMO, but its all 145, 135, 153, etc.).

In a lot of the open mic jams we had at the Bunkhouse and other venues in Vegas, a lot of the blues and jazz musicians were up at the same time, so open jamming could go from one basic cord structure to very complex... it all depends... rock was a big influence in all those jams too. There was really no meshing hip hop with those guys, that I witnessed. I tried to mesh the younger crowd with the old timers, and it didn't really work. Funny thing is, a lot of the old timers were more open minded than the young kids.
