I do not think that there is any shortcut. Yes you can learn how to "fake" jazz but you will not be able to fool too many people.
Get one of TrueFire course eg.:

or

Also DVD by Jimmy Bruno "No Nonsense Jazz Guitar" and DVDs by Emily Remler (a bit more advanced). After that Joe Pass books.
As far as jazz comping... I would recommend books by Jim Ferguson (all the books by him are good but this one addresses comping) and Mike di Liddo:
