For example BARTOK: String Quartets Nos. 3, 4, 6 (Amati Quartet) is under the Divox label but it will also be found in the Naxos Records catalogue. There may be exceptions though.
I don't know if any of the freebees will or have come from their other labels, I think all the ones that I have downloaded so far (only over the last 4 or so months) have been Naxos.
Regardless, their monthly freebees are a great gift to those interested in music.

Would you say that the jazz selection in the Naxos catalog is fairly limited?
I can't say that I've personally visited there to see what's available, but the Internet Archive is bound to have a lot of the old stuff. It may even have some stuff from newer artists who, for one reason or another, have made their stuff available to the general public (probably with the usual caveats--no reproduction, no modification, etc.
I encourage you, again, to find Groups involved in jazz music. Also, be sure to join the forums, too (whatever distinction is to be made between the two), because they, like our little MobileRead, are chock-full of great recommendations.
My final suggestion: learn to like classical music instead of jazz. ha
