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

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).

@fthompson251 I have been of a similar mindset, but have recently been able to appreciate some jazz offerings.  What got me "primed" to be more open minded about this genre was listening to Internet Radio Station Jazz 24 out of Seattle.  I have it programmed into my receiver as a favorite station and would have it on often for awhile as background music, or just while doing some other work tasks at my desk.  Some of the music was quite striking and interesting to listen to, so I branched out from there.  https://www.jazz24.org/ on the web but you can also search for them on my Internet Radio apps on your streamer.  I liked them enough I contributed to their annual fund.

I have a Bill Frissell playlist I'd like to share with you. I have it for Quboz or Amazon. If you have either, give me an address to send it to. 

In my collection, many of the best sounding recordings happen to be of jazz.  The following is a list of some of these outstanding recordings:

Armstrong: "Satchmo Plays King Oliver" (early stereo, but not surpassed in sound quality).

Ellington: "Blues in Orbit" (again late 1950's stereo recording that is amazingly good.  I use an original issue, six-eye Columbia recording to demonstrate how little recording arts have advanced)

Brubeck: "Time Out" (original six-eye Columbia that sounds better than reissues)

Clark Terry "Alternate Blues" (a reissue from Classic Records, I believe, that is extemely dynamic)

Yamamoto Trio: "Midnight Sugar" (Japanese Three Blind Mice record.  ANY TBM record will sound fantastic; CD is decent, but not as good)

Great Jazz Trio: "Direct from L.A." (original East Wind (Japanese) label album.  The CD reissues are decent, but, not as dynamic as the original).

Bill Berry Allstars: "For Duke" (a direct to disc album from M&K records.  Any other M&K direct to disc record will also sound good, such as "Fatha")

Oliver Nelson: "Blues and the Abstract Truth" (many different reissues and they all sound quite good)

Rollins: "Saxophone Colossus" (one of the great recordings for music and sound quality; I use it to demonstrate how good MONO can sound)

Modern digital recordings also do a great job with jazz.  I offer two samples:

Anour Brahem: "Thimar" 

Stefano Battaglia; "Re Pasolini"

I don't usually think of vocal works as jazz.  To me it is its own genre and there are MANY great sounding recordings.  I will only offer one example of a top singer playing with a first rate jazz orchestra: 

Ella Fitzgerald and Marty Paich: "Whisper Not"
