Man, if you don't like jazz, don't try to force it. What I do with music, everytime I've fallen in love with a new artist/genre, I wasn't trying to. Either I was doing something completely unrelated, hanging out someplace, and heard the song. Or watched a movie with the song in it.
The context of how you perceive a song is very important. Listening to a song of jazz to get into jazz is kind of like reading math theorems to learn that part of Calculus...the brain doesn't get "surprised" by it, or spontaneously perceive it as an unexpected pleasure, but more as a chore. At least that's my opinion on the subject.
