Yes - they can improv, rarely need sheet music, and are used to communicating with minimal fuss. Jazz musicians can usually play rock quite well, and technically they are on par with anyone. Some of the greatest hip hop and R&B songs heavily sample jazz tracks, so jazz musicians are definitely the best choice if you need people to play anything. They also tend to be laid-back personalities who like to go with the flow (except for the odd diva/o but that's true of every musical genre).
