As a rhythm guitarist you want to blend in more with the bass to form the foundation in the band. Hollowbodies can give you feedback if you use a lot of distortion and gain but work excellently when the amount of gain is moderate or when playing clean.
Are hollow body guitars Good for jazz?
A semi-hollow body guitar is more versatile compared to a classic jazz guitar. Semi-hollows sound “jazzier” compared to solid body guitars. They are better suited for distorted sounds, that's why they are used by jazz guitarists such as John Scofield and rock guitarists such as Dave Grohl.
