Live is always the best way to go with Jazz for sure. There are a lot of fantastic players in LA. More Notable, most major artists come through LA once, if not several times a year. In September I know that guitarist Jonathan Kreisberg is coming to LA and you just have to check him out, he's burning beyond belief
There are other LA main stays such as Pete Christlieb, Andy Martin and Larry Koonse are all more then worth whatever minimal cost of admission there is.
No doubt there is some sort of LA Jazz website out there or publication available to tell you who is in the city playing. But LA is one of the larger markets in the US for excellent Jazz players because of all the work there is working in studio bands for the Movie industry
