Where did the musical forms used in jazz come from?

There are only two standard jazz progressions, the blues progression and the rhythm changes progression. The form of the blues was derived from spirituals, shouts and chants, work songs and field hollers sung by African American communities in the late 19th century. The rhythm changes progression was simply derived from the song "I Got Rhythm" by George Gershwin. The chord progression became very popular, being used by many other jazz musicians for other tunes.
