Method book ideas for teaching Blues/Jazz to classically trained ?

I'm trying to get my feet wet teaching piano (plan for semi-retirement).
Soooo...I'm supposed to make 2 month plan for teaching Blues and maybe Jazz to people who aren't beginners. I have, saved in my Wish List :

Jazz Theory Resources: Volume 1 by Bert Ligon (and)
Exploring Jazz Piano - Volume 1 by Tim Richards (and)
Improvising Blues Piano - by Tim Richards

oh and Mark Harrison's Blues Piano: Hal Leonard Keyboard Style Series

Anyone know 'em all and have preferences ? Anyone have others they think are fantastic ? Any other ideas for teaching these styles ?

Thanks,

David
