RE: Of course it is...

"...there are many different types and styles of jazz, like with any broad musical genre."

One could put it that way. However, I've just attended a 10 day local jazz festival, where I was listening to all kinds of R&B, soul, funk, dub, hip-hop, world music, even pop, but barely any jazz (unless you count George Benson's brand of soft pop as being 'jazz'?) So one natural question comes to mind: why do they bill it as 'jazz'?
