>Eric Dolphy - Out to Lunch
>Wes Montgomery & The Wynton Kelly Trio - Smokin' at the Half Note
>John Coltrane - A Love Supreme
>Miles Davis - Bitches Brew
>Sonny Sharrock - Ask the Ages

If you don't like that I'm not sure what to tell you

Try different subgenres/periods of jazz, one of them will click eventually. Also check out ECM label

Just go onto youtube and search some classic names and listen to stuff until you find something you like: Miles Davis, Art Blakey, Bill Evans, Dexter Gordon, Horace Silver, Chet Baker, Wes Montgomery, john coltrane, thelonious monk, dizzy gillespie, coleman hawkins

Theres over 100 years of it in wildly different styles and you ''tried listening to several albums''?

>>68717154
Try:
The song Take Five (Brubeck)
Count Basie - Breakfast, Dance and Barbecue
Kind of Blue
Black Saint & Sinner Lady
Ellington at Fargo
In a Silent Way
Jazz at the Philharmonic, Live at Santa Monica Civic '72
Sintara Live at the Sands

Key to appreciate jazz is listening to it multiple times, to know what's coming.

>to know what's coming.

Surely that contradicts everything jazz is about?

>>68718624
shut the fuck up you bitch

>>68717154
what did you listen to?

>>68718245
this chart is good, helped me a lot getting into jazz

>>68718395
I don't mind jazz, but it's certainly not one of my favorite kinds of music.

>>68719248
Wtf does that have to do with this

>>68717154
Check out
>Charles Mingus - Mingus Ah Um and Blues & Roots
>Clifford Brown & Max Roach - S/t
>Herbie Hancock - Empyrean Isles
These are all good and easy to get into. If they click, go from there.
