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

Let me explain, I have tried to like jazz for over 30 years. I rarely find something I like. To me it sounds too disjointed, like everyone is trying to out do the others and they are all playing a different song. I know there has to be some good instrumental smooth jazz artists I am missing. If you have any suggestions of whom to try let me know. Some that are on my Jazz playlist is Pat Metheny-"It's for you"   Bill Frisell _"Heard it through the grapevine"  Holly Cole, George Benson... for an example of things I do like.

 

I'd love to have a 100 song Jazz playlist. So what'ch got for me?

Thanks

- 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
