Among several other meanings, かな is usually translated as "I wonder", but what
does it mean in the following conversation?

> A: 「僕はジャズが大好き！君は？」
>
> B: 「私もジャズが **好きかな** 。」

Is the speaker uncertain about whether she likes Jazz or not? Or is it a
polite way of saying something on the lines of, e.g, あまり好きじゃない, 嫌いじゃない, and so
on?

Meaning of かな in this context?
It means more like "I guess". Say that a person who isn't very into music gets
asked what his favorite genre is, then he might reply:

```

    Maybe Jazz, I guess...
    
```

So it does add some kind of uncertainty to the reply, and why the speaker is
uncertain can depend on a lot of different reasons, just like in any language.
