Best Answer

Blues goes wherever the performer likes, jazz goes in circles - improvisation-wise.

Blues is a more spiritual thing, while jazz is more improvised, but structured at the same time, if you get what I mean?

So while they often have similar instrumentation, blues usually carries more of a message than jazz, which tends to just be music...they're at the same time very similar and worlds apart.
