'heard coming out of jazz club foreign' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'politician in genuine trouble from the start' is the wordplay.
'politician' becomes 'mp'.
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'genuine' becomes 'true' ('true' is associated in meaning with 'genuine'**).
'from the start' says to take the initial letters.
The initial letter of 'trouble' is 't'.
'mp' placed within 'true' is 'trumpe'.
'trumpe'+'t'='TRUMPET'
