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

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.)

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.  

Hello,

I have not read the whole exchange, but I'll give you a fine recommendation: subscribe to JazzRadio.com. There are 45 stations with all kinds of different jazz genres, and you can always find something you like. There is a free program, but subscription to their highest resolution MP3 cost only $9 per month. Music is very good, and it sounds very good. I love it. 

I hope this helps

Jazz covers a lot of different types. I suggest you listen to WDCD.org to get a taste of what you may enjoy.  They play a lot of excellent jazz and cover most types. That's how I got into Jazz. You may be surprised what you hear. They also play the blues. They don't play the same play list either, you'll hear different stuff every day. Also some of the DJ's are Jazz musicians themselves.  WDCB is a really good place to hear Jazz....
