Can you recommend Jazz for some one that doesn't like Jazz?

OK, well it seems that I am ruffling some feathers here. Hence the thread title, I'm out. Thanks for all the advice.

You are not ruffling feathers.

Please read my PM.

i don't think your post ruffled any feathers.  You received a lot of diverse suggestions from those responding and that is all to the good.  If we misread what you were looking for, it is because it is quite hard to interpret your thread title.  No one who dislikes something can be expected to be well versed in the subject, so people have been recommending things that you should sample to see if you like it.  If, on the other hand, your interest were limited to the likes of Holly Cole, George Benson and Bill Frisell and Pat Methany, I did not read it that way; I thought you were also interested in expanding your search to find other things that you may like.  If your search were just for things you are already inclined to like, you could use a streaming service which will suggest other music similar to what you say you like.  

I DID take the suggestions and I grew my playlist. There are so many in this thread it has become overwhelming but over time I will try them out,

I put something a my Jazz playlist while ago  and got scolded because it isn’t Jazz. Hell I didn't know. I was just identifying things I like for guidance. Hell it was an improvisation on a popular rock song I thought was cool.

You said

I often find it unfathomable that certain artists and albums are disliked by a lot of people.

SO if I don’t like something I got no class I guess. This is what I mean by ruffled feathers. But I did benefit from this thread, I did find some things I like and that is what I was looking for so mission accomplished. I am not a true Jazz lover but I can still enjoy some of it but not be a card carrying member.
