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

I don't see a lot of feathers getting ruffled, certainly not for this forum, aka Angry Birds. People get worked up about jazz!

Two quick things: first, it's okay not to like jazz, not to like Miles or Bird, not to like rainbows or puppies. Second, my advice would be Radio Swiss Jazz, if you have internet radio. It's easy listening but legit; lots of beat-steady tunes, some swing, good vocals, and nothing too demanding. 

(Third: Monk Alone in San Francisco.)
