Jaques Loussier does unique jazz interpretations of classical compositions. His best know are his Back works but my favorites are Satie and Chopin. Very interesting and relaxing stuff.

Ray Bryant is a soulful player with great chops but never assaults you with them. His music can make you happy at the purely sensory level, but also rewards the musically aware. Not super well known but is one of my automatic recommendations to people who don't know jazz but would like something accessible to listen to. His Montreux '77 concert album is great, but I like all of his Cadet and EmArcy stuff too.
