No one knows but New Orleans is usually credited with being the birthplace of jazz.

Jazz began in the United States and quickly spread through other countries. The music began in the black communities of the American south. Those who began the art form combined their musical heritage with the music of America, and Jazz was born. It's earliest traces are found in the 1910s, in Louisiana. Most notably, the music could be heard when visiting certain clubs in New Orleans, as the city had an extensive black population.
