Someone else asked this a couple of years ago: Best Way to migrate data form Jazz to Jira

Jira supports CSV imports so you'll need to export your data from Jazz in one of those formats first.

You could also create your own solution with scripting using the Jira REST API. Bare in mind Jira will set the creation dates of all the imorted issues to the dat you run the import. This is not true for CSV imports where you do have control over the dates.

Something I always ask before preparing a data migration: do you really need to migrate everything? Perhaps you can limit the migration to open item only and finish the ongoing items in your old system (Jazz). Then export a CSV of closed items to store it somewhere else.
