If you feel you need a kick mic at all (try micing drums from in front and you may not need it), look at the Sennheiser E602, or perhaps a 421...

I'm not a huge fan of the D112 (even though I own one) for jazz as it is too "thumpy" sounding.

In Jazz, the kick is often just another drum in the set. It does not have the same rhythmic importance as the ride, snare, or perhaps high-hat have.
