Jazz evolved partly out of Gospel Music of the African-Americans, and partly out of their "field hollers" they would call back and forth while at work. They began to experiment with the rhythms,

and jazz evolved out of that. Improvisation is a basic tenet of jazz (and blues).

There is also an old joke that jazz was invented when a cow swallowed a bottle of ink and "mooed indigo". :>D
