That is a killer sampler.
I have a couple of similar vintage. I must dig them out.

Sons of Kemet's album Burn contains Adiona's Lullaby and Song for Galeano - I think both are a wonderful fusion of jazz and classical - as well as jazz of other varied, and I'd say even novel, styles! I admit Your Queen Is A Reptile, a disappointment for me, seems homogeneous compared to Burn.It would depend where they are coming from. A rock fan would get ‘Jack Johnson’ rather than Jacques Loussier, a classical buff might prefer ‘Sketches of Spain’ to Sons of Kemet.
Funny thing taste, I like both v2.0 and A Humdrum Star. I really like Branches Break from Man Made Object.A long preamble to say that I would nominate Man Made Object by Go Go Penguin.

Frankly, jazz is not for all and some of the above suggestions will have the newcomer running from the scene,
Having decided that jazz isn’t for them.
Can't speak as an expert but if I had to say who was my favourite Jazz person growing up as a kid it would have to be Oscar Peterson.
He had a tv series in the early seventies - Oscar Peterson Presents - Never missed it. Was my favourite thing on the telly. I just loved that guy.
Night Train is in my top 10 albums of all time. By anyone.

Night Train - Oscar Peterson will do the trick for anyone with two ears.
