Accidentally? Play some tune near a Jay and it'll soon sing the tune intentionally.

Meanwhile, Steller's jays:

WAAGH WAAGH WAAGH

Although the ones near my house can imitate a red-tailed hawk call pretty well when they want to scare the other birds from the feeder so it can have it to itself, but that's the only thing I've heard them do besides their ordinary calls.
