As per the meaning of the sentence, we are given that in addition to being a Jazzy Tune, MD's hit songs is also recorded by many other bands. So, clearly being a Jazzy tune is the quality of his song that we need to mention.
(A) Besides being a Jazzy tune that the musician himself wrote --> Correct as it is.
(B) Besides a Jazzy tune with the musician himself writing it --> Awkward and Unclear
(C) Except a Jazzy tune being written by the musician himself. --> Change in meaning. We need to add on something rather than making except stuff.
(D) Besides the instance of a Jazzy tune that the musician himself wrote --> Song is not an instance of Jazzy Tune but a Jazzy tune itself. Change in meaning.
(E) Besides the fact of a Jazzy tune with the musician writing himself --> Again Awkward.
