Fantastic Topic guys...
...Jazz (at least from my point of view) is VERY hard to imitate. If you don't have the feel, forget about it. My left arm is still very stiff, because of lack of professional approach to the drums, and playing more rock and blues then needed.
But, listening is what made me LOVE jazz and wanting to try and play it. I'm far from being a good jazz drummer, but the swing feel is reflected in my playing, and I'm very proud of that.
If You like to play jazz, it's best that You sit behind the drum set and close your eyes. Don't think - just listen to what the others are playing and let your feelings guide you. The music will flow inside You, making Your hands move in the right motion...
I got endless comments about my simplicity when playing, even hard stuff. And it's all thanx to that approach. I play 50% less when my mind is in a different place...

Great, response, Goki. I had a dream many years ago; I had paid, somehow, for a half hour of Charlie Watts's time, and after twenty-five minutes suddenly realized I had only been wasting his and my time. I asked him, what do you think about when you're playing?
He said, "I do what I do, and then I do more of it." I said, that's funny because most people would probably say you do less. And he said, "That's just what it looks like."

How about a few names?
