Answer

No, Mead did not contribute to the early development of jazz music. Mead was a philosopher, not a musician, and his work was focused on social theory. Jazz music developed in the early 20th century in the African-American community in New Orleans. Mead's work did not have a direct influence on the development of jazz music.
