Wiki
From its early development until the present, jazz has also incorporated music from 19th and 20th century American popular music, which is based on European music traditions. The word jazz began as a West Coast slang term of uncertain derivation and was first used to refer to music in Chicago in about 1915.
Jazz has, from its early 20th century inception, spawned a variety of subgenres, from New Orleans Dixieland dating from the early 1910s, big band-style swing from the 1930s and 1940s, bebop from the mid-1940s, a variety of Latin-jazz fusions such as Afro-Cuban and Brazilian jazz from the 1950s and 1960s, jazz-rock fusion from the 1970s and later developments such as acid jazz.

That's the flaw of the user-defined sites. Crappy designations are a scourge.

I think some people are tagging songs with every tag so they will get the big hits. Really not fair, but music is subjective.

Yeah I had a little problem with Radio Head's, National Anthem being tagged jazz. Amy Winehouse, some of her cuts come close to jazz, but not really. I love her music, but I would never tag it as jazz.

@tinosoft89: yes, and i think it might help not to trivialize and over-simplify artists IMHO. if an artist plays bossa nova, it's bossa nova, even if he/she is "filed" under 'jazz', 'soul', 'rnb' or whatever, that doesn't make any sense to me, i'm not an accountant and no judge. for understanding music we'd better use our ears than our file systems ... enjoy.

amy winehouse is filed under 'jazz' and 'soul'. it's not undoable ( 600.000 listeners can't err ;-) let's welcome that jazz today is widely acknowledged by listeners young and old ( even if it's not jazz ... )

jazz is an ever evolving and very broad genre, so i'm expecting to have fuzzy borders. i never use the tag 'jazz', it has become too unspecific and misused in my opinion.
