I enjoy listening to all kinds of music. One in particular is jazz. I find that most of my friends aren't really into it though. They just can't get the feel for it, I guess. Many of them have tried to add jazz to their own personal musical mélange but simply don't know where to begin.
Two fantastic albums I recommend are The Essence of Maynard Ferguson and Doc Severinsen & the Tonight Show Band, Vol 1. Most of the music on these two albums are very upbeat, so those who primarily listen to a lot of contemporary music should be able to appreciate this kind of jazz!
I love the all of the music on both of these albums, but my favorites would have to be Birdland and MacArthur's Park (Maynard Ferguson) and Sax Alley (Doc Severinsen).

I dont listen to Jazz but tons of my music has Jazz style in the background. I know Janet has used jazz in many of her songs.
I have noticed that many artists nowadays are very creative with their music, incorporating many different styles and genres into their own! I'll need to listen to some jazzy Janet songs! :-D
XM Channels 70 (Real Jazz), 71 (Watercolors), and 72 (Beyond Jazz) typically play some great music too!
yay for reccomendations not just being a music snob. make me copies!
Me, a snob? Of course not! That's too much beneath me! :-)
