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

Yeah, numerous Mose Allison comments, he was a gem... moody, quirky sprinkled with humour throughout

The Mose Chronicles v2 in London* is not to be misses

My music library is vast with 20% covering Jazz, so much to discover and I have only scratched the surface.

What To Listen For In Jazz - book includes a CD... my copy is 30 years old and looks like it has been carried by a student for 3 days... good condition.  Let me know where to ship and I will get you your cost.
