Which jazz album is the best introduction going in blind?
Basically the title. This came up in a conversation with my dad and I got curious enough to ask yall's opinion. The question was not "what is the best album to ease someone into jazz with the least friction", but "experiencing which one would most accurately tell a person not familiar with jazz in any way if they are going to enjoy going down this path".
After a somewhat lengthy discussion we settled on Brilliant Corners and Curtis Fuller's Blues-ette (which are, coincidentally, some of my current top picks of the whole genre. I'm up to elaborate in the comments as to why these two made the final cut if the question comes up). I'd love to hear your takes on the matter.
One thing I should make clear is that, in the country I'm from, jazz does not have any wide spread, and most people here aren't familiar with it in any way, so the question makes at least some practical sense.
