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

- 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

Larry Carlton  -  "Alone But Never Alone"

About as smooth and listenable as it gets. Ebay probably has a copy, cheap.

Bob James

Earl Klugh

grp masters collections from the early 90s have a great mix of various artists.  You can screen the tracks you like and go from there.  Again, Ebay has them cheap.

Return to Forever should make you a believer

Two titles mentioned previously are worth underscoring and adding to my original list:

1) Herbie Hancock - "Cantaloupe Island"

2) Louis Armstrong - "Satch Plays Fats"

Diana Krall, Lyn Stanley, Anne Bisson.
