Check out this website: http://patefon.knet.ru/kdf/main.html

Go to the discographies to hear some very American sounding Soviet Jazz...

An interesting facet of early Soviet Music imo.

Is there a distinct American sound in jazz?

By that I meant that it didn't really sound that different to the standard American stuff of the same period.

And yeah, generally American jazz sounds looser and less arranged than its continental imitations.
