I don't know if it's bright or not, but short of going into the
appropriate .scm file and changing the "m" there to a "-", you would
have go do the chordNameExceptions route:

jazzyChordsMusic =
{
  <c ees g>-\markup { "-" }         % Cm -> C-
  <c ees g bes>-\markup { "-7" }    % Cm7 -> C-7
  <c ees g bes d'>-\markup { "-9" } % Cm9 -> C-9
  % Add more as needed
}

jazzyChordsAdd = #(append
  (sequential-music-to-chord-exceptions jazzyChordsMusic #t)
  ignatzekExceptions)

jazzyChords =
{
  \set chordNameExceptions = #jazzyChordsAdd
}

Then, in your chordNames, at the top you would put \jazzyChords in like so:

Chords = \chordmode
{
  \jazzyChords

  c1:m
  c:m7
  c:m9
}

There's probably a better way to do it with partial exceptions, but I
can't seem to find a quick 'n' dirty example.
