Jazz for someone who doesn't like jazz.

I got into jazz not long ago when I turned some on doing chores around the house. Now I’m head over heels for it, and am learning about new and great artists everyday. I love a good ballad/slower tempo jazz and created a nice sized Spotify playlist of selections. Here are a few excellent albums I have listened to lately. 
Paul Chambers - Bass On Top - the first song Yesterdays is incredible 

Ike Quebec - Blue And Sentimental and also Heavy Soul - very beautiful and accessible Jazz 

Duke Pearson - Tender Feelin’s - beautiful jazz pianist 

Yusef Lateef - Eastern Sounds - Interesting album and I play the song Love Theme From Spartacus almost everyday. Something about his playing... 

Joe Pass and Oscar Peterson - Porgy and Bess - if you love guitar you will love Joe 

Bill Evans and Jim Hall - Undercurrent - beautiful album from start to finish. Excellent piano via Evans and guitar via Hall. 
Dexter Gordon - Biting The Apple - Dexter has a magical way with Ballads. His rendition of Georgia On My Mind is stunning 

Gene Ammons - Boss Tenor - Gene’s plating is beautiful and touching. He can give me chills and My Romance is a great song off this album. 
Ben Webster & Associates - this album, specifically the song Time After Time really got me into Jazz. The subtlety and beauty of his playing made me feel jazz, and his playing was like beautiful lyrics. 
Coleman Hawkins Quartet - Today and Now - A great song is Love Song From “Apache”. 
I could go on but there’s a few ideas.

Harry Connick Jr. Trio - Lofty’s Roach Soufflé is a good, easily palatable album too

I mentioned the Harry Connick Jr. Trio album Lofty’s Roach Soufflé. It is an awesome Jazz instrumental album. It’s a fine listen and maybe can even get your wife on board as well.

Another extremely easy album to listen to is by the Massimo FaraòTrio called How My Heart Sings. Beautiful Piano playing by Massimo and very easy going. The song that hooked me on the album is called Easy Living. I would also seek out the Jazz Shepard’s YouTube channel. He gives some fun historical context on all things Jazz and plays samples of the music while he’s talking. Very interesting. He talks about different artists, Jazz forms, labels and all sorts of stuff. That’s where I heard the Philly Joe Jones album Philly Joe’s Beat I’m listening to right now.

@reubent @oregonpapa Since you mentioned Houston Person, him and Ron Carter have a beautifully recorded album called Remember Love. The double bass on that album is excellent. Excellent album all the way through really.
