+1 for Ken Burns' documentary Jazz, a great place to start.

Do an internet search for The Top 100 Jazz Albums, then check YouTube & other music sources for performances & recordings by those artists. It'll take some time & effort, but you should get a good a idea of what type of jazz works for you.

I enjoy bebop, cool (not to be confused with smooth), & modern (a type of jazz, not recent jazz). Free Jazz is too out there for me, but I also have the musical apptitude of a rock
