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

Here are some Jazz playlists any one of you can use or cull from. (A while back I tired to start a playlist Qobuz Playlists Exchange but it fizzled..much updating to those lists now anyway) For stepping into Jazz, Sonny Stitt and Art Pepper are easy entry giants to listen to. "Cleveland blues" By Sonny Stitt and "Patricia" by Art Pepper have rocked my world for decades.
