The chinese were the first to experiment with a 12 tone
system but without considering even temperment(12,000 B.C.)
from "Theory of evolving tonality". Blues at times can seem
chromatic, but jazz is chromatic(if it wants to be, or maybe
if you it to be). Take your favorite blues head and play it
in all twelve keys and then maybe try to hear it in all
twelve keys. This seems like a simple question but it's not.
I taped that 20 hour documentory on jazz(PBS-USA) hosted by
people like Wynton Marsallis (what a classy guy). I know I'm
not the only one in the group who watched it. >>Ross
