Another way of saying the general consensus.

Blues and Jazz are baaed on different attitudes and philosophies - catchy hooks vs. sophistication; blue-collar bar vs. downtown...
You can mix stuff together but when you do warm sounding jazz runs or when you go for a bend with piercing tone - nobody will be confused as to what musical style you're playing.

Jazz is the Blues' precocious little brother.

I was kind of expecting people to notice the examples more than my general idea. The internet is where you can't make any generalization without triggering someone. Maybe it's for the best... but it makes describing anything in the social realm much more difficult.

All my favorite jazz guitar players loved to play blues.

Of course genre categorization needs to be nuanced as well. There is not one definition 'they' all agree upon.

In a Venn diagram, Miles Davis is right in the middle of the overlapping section of “blues” and “jazz.” So very wonderfully and uniquely so.

I just found out that my classical guitar is dead! It was a loner from my cousin's husband who lives in Charleston and he kept it up in the attic so apparently that humidity did it in before he even gave it to me! The bridge is falling off and so are the bracings inside the guitar. The problem is it would cost more than the guitar is worth to fix it and I talked to my cousin and she said that it wasn't a big deal and he's cool with it. So now I gotta figure out what kinda burial I want lol. I'm leaning towards a Who smash and bash type of sendoff. Any thoughts?

I hate that word. And I generally love words.
