In fact I'm transcribing a jazz song for classical musicians. There are
tempo changes and also a passage without swing.
So I prefer to stay relatively accurate in the indications and avoid any
confusion.

Well you *can* do that (and I've seen it done that way), but often -
the music being improvised anyway - you don't really have a tempo
indication, except for Swing, Med. Swing, Uptempo Swing, Ballad etc.,
and those are just suggestions or show how the piece was played in a
referenced recording. That's, if we're talking about a lead sheet -
look into a "Real Book" for examples.
If it's orchestral music (eg Big Band), the score probably contains
more exact tempo values (which my Big Band conductor usually ignores
...).
