The Smithsonian Anthology is a nice historical survey.
This is a pretty good overview of the genre. Jazz is a very diverse genre and this will give you a taste of everything throughout its history.
edit: this has little to none avant garde/free jazz, though that might make it easier to digest for new listeners.
How about the Smithsonian Jazz Anthology? Pricey but informative and lots of music.
There’s also this 5 cd set Jazz: The Smithsonian Anthology that takes you through the history of jazz. All the tracks are classics.
If you don't have much of a jazz collection yet, this is a GREAT place to start. The enclosed liner notes are wonderful and the compilation represents a fairly diverse range of the genre:

I know it is pushing $100, but this is probably the best place to start if you are starting from scratch.
