Hi,

I would say both.
Early jazz pianists learned piano with classical methods, and therefore were inspired with european classical music (like vienna waltz i think). But at this time the jazz was popular music to dance.
I think in the 40's, it became more elitist with bebop and so people couldn't dance on it anymore as it was very fast.
