Two things:

1. What's your motivation for wanting to get into jazz? Have you heard pieces you've liked in passing, on the radio, in movies, on teevee? Or is it something like how a midwesterner wants to try sushi, never having had the opportunity living in Iowa?

2. I'm going to assume for now that the former is your motivation, as jazz is sufficiently pervasive. In that case, you've probably heard enough jazz by now from movie soundtracks and elevator music to decide if you like the genre or not, right? Have you ever heard a piece from teevee or whatnot and said, 'wow, that's an amazing tune! i have to know who did that!' If you ask me, that's a great place to start. What have you heard that you like so far? Based on that, more refined recommendations can be made.
