To elaborate on what Tony wrote, it's also true that some styles of jazz have a different concept of what good intonation means, because of the way intonation is used as an expressive effect in jazz. A perfect "blue note" is often only slightly flat as compared to a major scale tone (but not a complete semitone flat), for example. That would be bad intonation in classical music, but when a good jazz player hits it just right, it sounds great in context.

I would venture to say that the very best jazz players are oftentimes the ones who are the most sensitive to intonation and know when and how best to deviate from equal temperament whenever the music calls for it.
