My advice is to listen and learn what you can and always be respectful. These folks are trying to maintain a tradition and you can support that. Jazz is a tradition that is struggling and we want it to survive. GJ is possibly having an even more difficult time and needs the attention and respect for tradition that it deserves.
Of course, if you really find it difficult walk away....
BTW - I am currently going through a bunch of GJ picking drills and it is cleaning up my playing big, big time.

I should probably answer the question too...
1. Minor Swing
2. Nuages
3. Djangology
4. Tears
5. Swing 42
6. Django's Castle
...and if you are really wanting a treat try Anouman - a beautiful Django ballad....
