Morphology
The phrase is directly compositional: 'new' (recent/novel) modifies 'jazz' (a music genre), so a B1 learner who knows both words will understand it refers to recent or innovative styles of jazz. This adjective + noun pattern is cross-linguistically common and not idiomatic, although precise historical dating (e.g., post-1940) is additional encyclopedic knowledge rather than necessary for basic comprehension.
Etymology
The noun new jazz comes from the 1940s and 1950s when musicians began playing very different sounds and called the music new to show it was not the old jazz. So, new jazz today means jazz that tries 'fresh ideas' and moves away from the usual rules of traditional jazz.
