I wouldn't say "into" just yet, since I have a lot of learning to do in the way of jazz. But I ended up liking it solely at the hands of:
https://haydenwho.bandcamp.com/album/candles-mixtape
This guy does everything remotely related to jazz. He usually pulls it off, and Blue is one of my favorite albums. For anybody who likes avant-garde, I recommend him.
His album Candles is very experimental. This occasionally gets in the way of the progression, but the jazz loops are so weird and cool. The whole album maintains a dark feel. Manner steers more towards ambience, but retains Candles' experimentation. Blue is an acid jazz/nu jazz instrumental hip hop album. So, yeah. That's pretty awesome. Replacement Skin mixes more ambience with the album, and Absent and MPC Tape go back to Candle's heavily experimental style, except better.
It's because of these albums I starting liking avant-garde/experimental albums more.
