I reckon Maceo is funk, not Jazz. James Brown's not classed as Jazz. Just because someone is an instrumentalist doesn't mean they're a jazz musican.
And sure Rhythm Blues gets classed as jazz. Not modern R&B but 40's & 50's stuff like Big Joe Turner, and I'd say that Brother Jack McDuff, Jimmy Smith and Grant Green all have strong blues and rhythm & blues roots but they're often classed as Jazz musicans too.
Saw Dizzy Gillespie in 1989, but he wasn't wearing a beret.
