After I finally started to "get" Miles Davis and the more progressive jazz, I could never really go back to the "aww shucks, massa" Dixieland shite unless it's live or in an appropriate venue.
I also hate the new brass bands - I appreciate them for keeping jazz alive with younger people, but they suck IMO.
"Kind of Blue" by Miles Davis is the standard bearer of "Jazz" like no other album is for any other genre of music.
I tried to get into Trombone Shorty but he's like everybody else - 10% of his songs are great, 10% of his songs are good, and 80% of his songs are absolute crap.

A lot of Miles recommended. You would be remiss not to check out In a Silent Way, and the Jack Johnson tribute.
