all depends on the person.
i started doing nothing but straight improv about 10 years ago. improvising is ALL i do now (guitar, bass, and very rarely drums) but i don't think anyone would really call my music 'jazz'. improvisation is also a big part of any style, especially stuff like bluegrass. classical and pop are probably the only ones that wouldn't have many elements of improvisation - it's oddly sad to consider this.
as far as the basics go, they're all about the same. if you can sing and dance to it then you should be able to play it with a little practice.
