No offense, but it sounds like it would be best for your student to seek out another teacher who has more foundation in what he wants to learn. Trying to cram jazz knowledge in quickly, so you can start teaching someone else is a recipe for disaster. Basically a student teaching a student. If you want to learn jazz on your own- that is one thing. But trying to learn it quickly so you can teach and mold someone else is quite another....

Just my thoughts on this.
