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

i don't think your post ruffled any feathers.  You received a lot of diverse suggestions from those responding and that is all to the good.  If we misread what you were looking for, it is because it is quite hard to interpret your thread title.  No one who dislikes something can be expected to be well versed in the subject, so people have been recommending things that you should sample to see if you like it.  If, on the other hand, your interest were limited to the likes of Holly Cole, George Benson and Bill Frisell and Pat Methany, I did not read it that way; I thought you were also interested in expanding your search to find other things that you may like.  If your search were just for things you are already inclined to like, you could use a streaming service which will suggest other music similar to what you say you like.  

I DID take the suggestions and I grew my playlist. There are so many in this thread it has become overwhelming but over time I will try them out,

I put something a my Jazz playlist while ago  and got scolded because it isn’t Jazz. Hell I didn't know. I was just identifying things I like for guidance. Hell it was an improvisation on a popular rock song I thought was cool.

You said

I often find it unfathomable that certain artists and albums are disliked by a lot of people.

SO if I don’t like something I got no class I guess. This is what I mean by ruffled feathers. But I did benefit from this thread, I did find some things I like and that is what I was looking for so mission accomplished. I am not a true Jazz lover but I can still enjoy some of it but not be a card carrying member.

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.

No scolding. Just stating simple fact. You can call a duck a goose if you want but be prepared for people to tell you "no-- it’s actually a duck". That’s all there is to it. Doesn’t mean they’re trying to give you a hard time. I have no idea why you should take this personally.

I was not at all scolding and was not directing that statement to ANY suggestion.  I was merely pointing out how hard it is to predict reactions to any piece of music or artist.  The example I gave was of someone whose music seems universally likable, at least to me, yet others would disagree.  That is why threads like this are helpful—a wide selection of music is suggested.
