Jazz is not Blues and Blues is not Jazz.......

I have been a music fan all my life and listen to classic Jazz and female vocals mostly.  I did not see this throughout most of my life, but now some internet sites and more seem to lump Jazz and Blues into the same thought. 
B.B. King is great, but he is not Jazz.  Paul Desmond is great, but he is not Blues.   

Perhaps next Buck Owens will be considered Blues, or Lawrence Welk or let's have Buddy Holly as a Jazz artist? 

Trite, trivial and ill informed, it is all the rage in politics, why not music?

One artist who erased the line between Blues and Jazz was Mose Allison. Great songwriter, singer (Bukka White first recorded the classic "Parchment Farm", but Mose did the definitive version), and pianist, always had a great band.

Blues came from gospel.  Jazz came from New Orleans Dixieland.  There was a lot of gospel in New Orleans.  Jazzy Beale Street is in Memphis, a suburb of Mississippi, where Delta Blues originated.  Chicago Blues arose from southerners ' moving from the south.  All of this is totally correct and entirely wrong in so many ways.
