I would argue that jazz is fundamentally rhythmic. Based on that, and its sociological roots, it bears quite a bit of resemblance. But I think I know what you mean - One would hardly mistake Coleman Hawkins' "Body and Soul" for Snoop Dogg's "Gin and Juice".
For me, the similarities are apparent immediately below the surface.
(I have much more on my mind about this, but I'm at work now... must go... maybe elaborate later...)
