It sounds to me like your trying to water down Jab and make it more palatable for tourist.
My father taught me how to play Jab like his father did before him and if I want to play Jab with an old pig head then there is no stopping that.
When I play Jab I'm playing for me, I'm not playing for show. I'm playing to honor my father and my fathers father, I'm playing to honor my ancestors and to remember what they went through to put me here today, I'm playing to remind myself to always be apposed to this modern mental slavery I am in, I'm playing to teach my children, I'm playing to give myself, my brother and my sister a proverbial splash of cold water to the face to wake the bleep up!!! and I'm playing for LOVE!

I also hear certain people in carnival circles in Trinidad also pronouncing it jambalassie and spelling it that way, which I DON'T understand where the (M) in the word came from before (B). I understand the jab spelling, because of the way Caribbean people speak, but why is the letter (M) emphasized in the word before (B). Another word that has me baffled is canne brulee. How Trinis say canboulay or camboulay and I actually see people spelling the word those ways. We Caribbean people are really big on bastardizing people's languages.

Culture is not static and it is not objective. Generations actions, thinking, and behaviour changes the perspective of past cultural practices. Yes, you may be correct about the orgin and history of jab, but history stores documented past cultural practices and do not remain as is. Otherwise, we are living in the past which is anti human behaviour. Even the church change its behaviour across generations. I love the jab concept in the 1990's but i can deminished the youths interpretation of the jab... That to will be history.
