E+7(#11) is actually an accurate symbol for Matthew's chord, though like you Darcy, I don't like the + in chord symbols, since it is prone to misinterpretation. I second Darcy's suggestion of the Jazz Theory Book. You'll discover that like humans and chimpanzees sharing 97% of their DNA, classical and jazz harmony also have most of their vocabulary in common. We just speak a slightly different dialect.
