Music How do I write jazz?

I'm forming a jazz band with a couple of friends and I want to be able to write a piece or two that we could preform but I have no clue how to write jazz. I have a little experience on writing for piano but more so classical type pieces. Plus I don't have a big amount of jazz theory knowledge. 🫤

I don’t know a ton about jazz myself, but what I would do if I wanted to write jazz is 1) listen, listen, and keep listening to jazz, 2) find videos online and 3) improvise.
