There ware plenty influential musician players in the first 50 years of jazz, so it's important to realize the difficulty of pin pointing one person to be the most important person in the commencement of the jazz era. I did a research paper in college about the beginning of the jazz era and I have to people who I believe played an important role in American Jazz. One would be James Reese Europe. He was recruited by Colonel William Hayward and created the 396th Regiment. They toured Europe encouraging many African Americans and thus Jazz was popularized in European Countries. So he seems to be pretty important especially because the rest of the nation became aware of this popular growth of a Victorian Era country moving on to a more Modernized nation.

But, I also considered Louis Armstrong to be an influential figure because he basically united the nation in music because music didn't just become to the South African American instead it really became one of the first U.S born music.

Who was the absolute first person on Earth?

It depends on what you consider a person. Is a proto-human a person? Are you referring to the first Neanderthal person? Or do you mean the first Homo sapiens? In any case, it's impossible to know because there was no written language back then, and thus no method for record keeping. Since scientists have traced humans back at least 35,000 years (in their present form), we have no way of knowing. It's reasonably certain, however, that it wasn't Adam.
