It is believed that Blues has emerged since the first decade of 1900s. W.C Handy (Alabama) was the 1st person who publish Blues songs. Jazz (in early years also spelled "jass") was 1st used to refer to music in Chicago at about 1915. Most people believe that Blues came first.

Is jazz the same as blues?

Key differences: the blues came first, is typically based on personal experience (or the artist's narrator's personal experience) and is a more intimate style that doesn't require a band. Jazz, on the other hand, which followed blues since the blues evolved much earlier, was considered dance music, and performed by bands. Improvisation is a cornerstone of jazz, but jazz, like popular music, has fragmented into many styles.
