I can’t find any for classical either. Or choral. Damn few bluegrass music videos. I’m a huge Ravi Shankar fan too and you know what? Dude ain’t got a one. The list goes on once you think about it.
Because music videos are from rather later in the age of television and they are popular with mass appeal music from a decade or so after the golden age of TV onward, especially musical styles that feature a “front” man or woman whose job it is to be the face of the group and deliver their vocals. They were especially popularized by MTV and VH-1 in the 1980s and those networks carried the mass commercial appeal genres of the day: which didn’t include jazz.
It’s just a particular genre of expression that is actually fairly local in time and not some essential feature one can expect from all music.
