A lot of the suggestions in this thread are pretty off the deep end in terms of intoducing someone to jazz--John Zorn? Come on! He's great but...
For the OP RHCP fan I would recommend Herbie Hancock - Headhunters. And from there he could move back to the more esoteric Herbie Hancock - Sextant. But he hasn't replied once to this thread and is probably rocking out to Panic at the Disco or some similiar shit as I type this. Not really sure what the hell Paradise Lost is talking about Herbie Hancock becoming stagnant after 1975, the man was definitely still growing towards his creative peak at that point.
How is it though that no one has mentioned Rashaan Roland Kirk on this thread yet? Ah well...
