I don't keep up with all the newer brands and offers but I think the Bare Knuckles Yard bird neck pup would work pretty well at that task.

Great for blues and supposed to be terrific for jazz.

Alnico II or III Single Coils (e.g., Seymour Duncan Alnico II): These soften the treble response and provide a spongy bass, making them excellent for rolling off the tone knob to achieve a traditional, woody jazz or smooth blues tone without ice-pick highs.

Charlie Christian Pickups (e.g., Lollar CC): Revered by jazz greats like Ed Bickert, these large, blade-style pickups provide massive, punchy output with a brilliant, piano-like clarity that handles both swing and blues effortlessly.

Low-Wind Humbuckers (e.g., Lollar Imperial Low Wind): Many players route a humbucker into the neck position for thicker, warmer, and more airy tones reminiscent of an old Gibson ES-335.P90 in a Tele Cover (e.g., Harmonic Design Super 90): Gives you the fat, mid-range growl of a P90, adding aggressive bite for blues leads and a dark, jazzy warmth, all without needing major guitar modifications
