I know nothing of your music listening/study/playing background.
Another approach would be to start with the "best" of the earlier periods of the music. Like any artform.
Some suggestions:
Louis Armstrong Hot Five & Seven recordings
Jelly Roll Morton
Fats Waller
1930's Count Basie
1920's-1930's Duke Ellington
This gross simplification might be found at a good library.
