I grew up on the music of Miles Davis and Duke Ellington. That's just scratching the surface though! Start with those guys, it's just straight jazz. Kind of Blue by Miles is a good album to start with.

There is ambient jazz, and there's also interpretive/fusion jazz. I'm not a fan of either of them but they do exist, as do many other sub genres like Dave said
