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

If you have an internet radio tuner there are hundreds of jazz stations to sample various types of music.  A lot of us like different forms [not hard to tell that].  Lee Ritenour is an excellent guitarist a is Peter Frampton  [yes indeed] "Fingerprints" or "Frampton forgets. the words".  

I'm surprised that no one has complimented stuartk for his thoughtful and detailed response!  The first albums that really drew me into jazz were Kind Of Blue (Miles Davis, already mentioned) and Giant Steps (John Coltrane).  Louis Armstrong (Satch Plays Fats) is another easy recommendation!

Vocal jazz is for you  - Holly Cole , Chantal Chamberland and many others.

I only started listening to Jazz this year. Spotify is your friend. Currently, I'm listening to "70's Japanese Jazz/Funk" playlist. Don't like a song, click next. Like a song, I save to a playlist. Never heard of any of these artists, just the way I prefer vs the same handful of Jazz artists always listed.

- Bill Evans trio ’Live at Shelley’s Manne Hole’

- Oscar Peterson ’We Get Requests’

- Ben Webster meets Oscar Peterson

- Jim Hall & Red Mitchell 'Valse Hot'

Or for something more modern and funky look into Jiro Inagaki

And I’ll throw in ’A Oscar Peterson Christmas’ since we are at Christmas Time...

If you can listen to any of those albums and still think jazz sucks than you’re hopeless and should quit being a audiophile and take up some other hobby
