Just how far back does jazz go? Blues? 

Ravel and Debussy were writing music with "blue" chords in them as
early as 1905-1908. Is it possible that they picked this up from
jazz precursors? Is it possible that jazz or blues musicians 
attended the Exposition Universelle in Paris in the 1880's, in which
music from all around the world was performed?
