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

• Some jazz can be annoying because it defys logic, order, and musicality. Some jazz is random hysterical chaos.

● Some jazz soothes your musical soul.
I’ll bet a pair of D’Agostino Epic 1600 monoblocks that you will like Dave Brubeck, Time out.
And I’ll bet a Pass Labs Int 250 that you’ll like Fourplay, Best Of Fourplay.

There are various compilations of the "Best of Blue Note."  This is one of the best ways to get into jazz--all of the selections are important pieces, accessible, yet much more than easy listening pablum.  You can then branch out based on which of the selections you find most enjoyable.  

If I had to pick a single artist that I think almost everyone would like, it would be Mingus.  Any of his iconic albums would have something that a jazz listener should like.  The same probably could be said of Dave Brubeck, Sonny Rollins, Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, Sidney Bechet.  Some of the other giants, like Coltrane, Monk, Davis, Gillespie, Dolphy, Hancock, Nelson are also reasonably accessible and at least some of their works should be well liked by any listener.  It might take a bit more listening for most listeners to enjoy the likes of Coleman and Roland Kirk, but that is part of the learning process.

Stanton Moore Fly'n the Coop is really fun, so is David Grisman Quintet Live at Jazz Alley. 

I have come to fix this situation!

A Charlie Brown Christmas - Vince Guaraldi

Your Mother Should Know - Brad Mehldau

You Must Believe in Spring - Bill Evans

Happy listening.

If you have an interest in jazz contemporary jazz, there is an interesting series put out by ECM called "rarum" where their artists choose the tracks they want to include in their compilation, the order they want the tracks presented, and write the liner notes for the albums.  Artist include the likes of Tomasz Stanko, Charlie Haden, Carla Bley, Keith Jarrett, Jan Garbarek and Chick Corea.  

Another thing to look into is international stars that use traditional, non-European instruments in Jazz compositions.  For example, Anour Brahem plays the oud, a North African string instrument in some very beautiful albums like "Thimar," "the Astounding Eyes of Rita," and "Blue Maqams."  Another oud player, Rabih Abou-Khalil fuses Arabic and jazz and has produced a terrific album called "The Blue Camel" (If you can find the original LP, get it not only for the music and terrific recording quality, but also because the jacket is incredibly pretty).
