Morphology
The meaning 'jazz music performed in real time' is directly derivable from combining 'live' (happening/performing now, not recorded) with 'jazz' (the music genre). This adjective+noun composition is a common, cross-linguistic pattern and follows standard English usage, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand 'live jazz'.
Etymology
Live jazz describes jazz that is live — played by musicians on stage now, not from a 'recording'. Imagine a band playing in a club while people listen; that's why it means 'jazz music performed in front of an audience instead of from a recording'.
