The good news is, there are many, many great options for jazz guitar amps. Let your own ears pick the one for you!
Nothing at all wrong with solid state and in fact you will see (hear) many solid state amps used by professionals in clubs and on recordings all the time. I personally think the Roland Cube (in its various iterations) could be a great choice and very affordable too.
Of course, tube amps have been used by many of the greats as well.
I kind of vacillate between SS and tube.
I would say my go-to amp is an older Acoustic Image Clarus 2R plugged into a Raezer's Edge Twin 8 speaker cabinet. I have collected quite a few amps over the years that I think have a nice jazz tone (to my ears) including a Roland JC22, Polytone Mega Brute, Polytone Mini Brute, Henriksen Bud Six and a Fender Princeton Reverb. Liked them all enough to never sell them.
But, I go back to my original comment...let your own ears pick the one for you.
Good luck!
