Another interesting musical genre that shares roots with Texas jazz if it isn't directly influenced by it is zydeco. If you know more about the connection could you please expand on my knowledge?

Zydeco is a combination of blues and creole. We have a local music nightclub that features zydeco on a regular basis. It developed in louisiana and has found popularity all across the south.
