I agree, totally, with the two answers above. It seems almost impossible to me that any human could not enjoy the Miles Davis Kind of Blue album. It's a great album for a beginner, and it's great even if you've heard a whole lot of jazz. Get it. http://allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql...
Thelonious is another great and important master of jazz. I suggest that you start out with the Monk's Dream album. Don't operate heavy machinery while listening. Monk swings the hardest of any jazz musician, in my little opinion. http://allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql...
This is the album that really turned me onto jazz. I still enjoy it and respect it. http://allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql...
This is a great album, centered around the guitar playing, although McCoy Tyner is at his best (piano player from Coltrane's band). It's another great album that's easy to like. http://allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql...
Here's a great album that you really have to hear. I can't even talk about it. The whole band is amazing. http://allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql...
Another great and easy to like album. Freddie Hubbard is at his best through the whole album (on trumpet, fluglehorn). It's a concept album, and it really does flow like the sea, as Herbie intended it to. http://allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql...
Horace Silver plays piano with soul. The songs are great and so is the band. Everything works on this album. It's another easy to like album too. http://allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql...
Please trust these suggestions. These are classic albums. They are accesible to the beginner's ear. Jazz is a form of music that is untouched by the ambitions of being famous. It's all about the music.
PS-Here's a modern great. Personally, I think it's a great album. http://allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql...
Happy listening.

Peter White is a well known jazz guitarist ... many CDs, including a Christmas one. There's one song, by Kenny Ladimere. Joan Rivers old song, "River". White really does an ,excellent job in the background, and kenny has some pipes.
