It's great to be living in the Google era!  See 
http://www.glenngould.ca/magazine/5.1.1999.html:

	Spring 1999 Issue of the GlennGould Magazine
	Volume 5, Number 1

	"Glenn Gould and Jazz" by James G. Shell (pages 16-21)
	Examines Gould's views on jazz and improvisation, and compares his 
aesthetic of music, piano style, and attitude toward interpretation 
with those of modern jazz pianists, making special reference to Oscar 
Peterson, Lennie Tristano, Bill Evans, and Keith Jarrett.

Some university libraries have this magazine; back issues are also 
purchasable from the Gould Foundation.

 There's  a very short (53 secs) segment on the CBC CD,  "At Home with 
Glenn  Gould,  In Conversation with Vincent Tovell" (originally 
recorded in 1959), in which Gould is asked if he likes jazz and 
explains that he only tolerates it in very small dose. He gives a 
charming reminiscence of his struggles in learning  the amazing jazz 
figure in the last movement of Beethoven's  Op. 111.
