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

Hi,

As is obvious from the posts above, it's a massive field with lots of individual preferences.

Some of my favourite albums:

Anything by Nik Bartsch but especially the Live album

Manu Katche is excellent: albums like Neighbourhood

The Astounding Eyes of Rita by Anouar Brahem I like a lot.  It's a world/jazz fusion type album.

Happy exploring
