That's kinda the thing though - it's an accessible Jazz album that's still very solid and true to the genre. It's hard to appreciate the crazier stuff until you have been initiated to the genre in general - it's like the way that you wouldn't necessarily recommend your favourite album by an artist to someone who hasn't listened to them before - you want to find the album that'll appeal to them the most to start off with, and let them ease themselves into it.
@Bob: I think not liking Bob Dylan isn't an uncommon point of view on this forum :P
