I think metal that's as improvisational as jazz is a very rare thing, it's certainly not a defining feature of metal like it is with jazz. If anything, I'd say metal is know for being very structured.

I don't think Blues has much of a relationship with modern metal as does Jazz or Classical, no?
Depends on the type of metal. Doom metal, which is the oldest branch of the metal tree certainly has a strong blues influence. Sludge as well. What types of metal do you feel have a strong jazz influence?
