Sorry, no jazz. I like music that is music, not noise.
You have obviously never listened to much jazz. I don't listen to a lot of jaz; some of the more modern stuff is too discordant for my taste, as well.
But Kind of Blue by Miles Davis is some of the best music ever written or performed anywhere, by anyone, ever.
Also, have you ever listened to Take Five by Brubeck?

I saw him (Dave) play it live when I was in college ... in the 60's ... awesome experience.
I've seen him three times in the last 4 years.
Once at the Detroit jazz and blues festival in the pouring rain.
Once at a local Ann Arbor church (!) along with their choir which performed his original composition of a Christmas mass. Very beautiful and intimate.
Once at a Uof M musical Society event where he played with a bunch of other people in turn.
The guy is nearing 90 and is really rather unsteady on his feet, and he speaks really slowly (great wit, though), but his hands are still utter magic on the piano.
It's been a great privilage to see him so many times.
