Music can be "about" anything. Classical music is full of titles to pieces, some autobiographical, many emotionally suggestive. No reason why jazz can't be also, and anyway most tunes have suggestive titles like "Round Midnight" etc. and quite a few are dedicated to people.
You might want to consider the research of Rosamund Shuter-Dyson into the brain function of musicians. She found that amateur musicians or non-musicians had a more right brained response to music, imagining feelings, pictures etc. Professionals and those of long experience had progressively more left-brained responses, tending to analyse the music in a less emotive way, picking up on musical details.
Could be you've just been in the game for a good while......
