Originaly, wasn't a rag an actual musical form were as jazz was a way of
playing marches and dance tunes by "unschooled" New Orleans musicians.?

......Also, it is not quite accurate to think of Ragtime and Dixieland as
following each other in the way stated here. These two types of music
existed side-by-side for some time before the turn of the century. Ragtime
is often thought of as one of the forerunners of jazz, but the first
ragtime compositions were published in 1898, and jazz, in some form, had
already existed for several years by that time. Buddy Bolden had already
become known as a jazz performer by 1895 or so......
