Read about he unbelievable adventures of Dr. Lloyd Miller traveling and performing through the Middle East and beyond by going to the jazzscope website and clicking on Sufi, Saint & Swinger.
Experts have conjectured that the word jazz may be relatyed to an Arabic root maybe: jaz - to cut, or jaza - to divide; maybe jaz' - to grow impatient, show grief or jas - to feel, sound. There is little liklihood that an Indo-Iranian Avestan term would find its way to West Africa, stay there frozen and unused for many centuries to be recently discovered then carried to America by West African immigrants. There is no documentation of such an Indo-Iranian term in West Africa. Dr. Lloyd Miller
@worldartsdocmiller and there is also little chance that the arabic word for "to grow impatient" 'ajaz (and not jaz') or "to cut" (jazza with a double z) comes from Arabic via west africa since they had no knowledge of Arabic.
Wow! Thanks for sharing!!!

@nonbarbari not all, a large number of Arabic genres such as the Muwashshah comes from Syriac music.
