I believe the answer is:

ragusa

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'sicilian town' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'producing jazz for america?' is the wordplay.
'producing jazz' becomes 'ragu' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'for' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'america?' becomes 'SA' (South America, one of the Americas).
'ragu'+'sa'='RAGUSA'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for ragusa that I've seen is " Sicilian town".)
