Miles Davis, Charlie Parker, John Scofield, Medeski Martin & Wood, Charlie Hunter, Return to Forever, Charlie Mingus. That should get you started.

Though I am no specialist I find the question interesting. I would start by watching the tools, the musical instruments that are currently used in both classic and jazz music. The most obvious I can think of is the piano. Two features in playing the piano : rhythm is given by the left hand and melody by the right hand. This holds true in both classical and jazz music. What about musical formation , You can find quartets and quintets in both classic and jazz music. There must be a lead instrument : for example flute in classic and saxophone in jazz. There has to be bass too, which holds true in bithe musical genres. There are orchestras, to play classical symphonies and standards in jazz. In terms of singing, you can find great soloists in both classical and jazz music.

Scott Joplin, Bessie Smith, "King" Oliver, Louis Armstrong, Benny Goodman, Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker. George Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue is a really good Jazz pieace.

What you probably heard was Dixieland jazz. That's just one type of jazz.
The kind I like is Big Band jazz ('cause I play trombone in a Big Band).
Go on Amazon.com (or any other place that sells CDs) and check out a set of CDs, called "This is Jazz". There are about 20 or so CDs that cover the essetial range of jazz types and artists. You don't have to buy all of them -- just listen to the samples, and pick out one or two for now, then you can add more later.
I have #16, Maynard Ferguson, (and I also have a lot of other jazz CDs that aren't on the "This is Jazz" collection).

Jim Cullum's Jazz Band plays New Orleans jazz these days. You can hear it at
www.riverwalk.org
Jim was a good friend of Louis Armstrong and likes to play like him.
