Well differnt genres always mixed and combined and influenced each other.
Negro Spirituals spawned blues.
Blues was influenced by early folk and country.
Blues and folk spawned Ragtime.
Jazz evolved from Ragtime and blues.
Jazz developed into subgenres thru influence from various forms, from classical to folk to blues and so on.
Early rhythm & blues was a combination of blues with danceble rhythms. Some considered it stripped down jazz.
Many jazz musicians came out of R&B. I could go on for quite some time.Jimmy Smith is considered one the greatest jazz organists and an originator of acid jazz.
