Morphology
The determiner phrase 'all that' already signals 'and other similar things', so a learner who knows 'all' and 'that' gets a partial clue; however 'jazz' here is a colloquial, non-literal placeholder rather than the music genre, which is not fully predictable from the constituent meanings. Because the phrase combines a transparent pattern ('all that' = 'and so on') with a slangy, unpredictable noun use, it is partially but not completely derivable by a B1 learner.
Etymology
All that jazz may come from jazz musicians who often added extra musical parts or lively decorations to a song. Saying all that jazz became an easy way to mean 'and other similar things' or 'and more of the same'.
