There is Ian Hugo’s ‘Jazz of Lights’ with Moondog and Anais Nin - though the music is by Bebe & Lois Barron rather than Jazz per se.
Len Lye’s ‘Tal Farlow’ and comparatively more recent there are films that use free jazz & improvised music - worth reading this article in ‘The Wire’ (2015) https://www.thewire.co.uk/in-writing/collateral-damage/collateral-damage_experimental-music-on-film This may raise a few questions around exeriemntal music and film?
