Jazz for someone who doesn't like jazz.


I've toyed with the idea of looking into jazz. Not sure why. Not sure what I'm looking for. Maybe just something to sound good on my system. I realize jazz is a broad category but much of what I hear I have not been attracted to. Don't ask me what I've heard.
What I'd like is a recommendation of two or three albums to start with. (I know that's insane)

And since I've given next to nothing to go on I'll point out a few things that I do like that might help narrow it down some maybe.

Jazz-like stuff I do like: Steely Dan. Almost all of their stuff. Van Morrison's jazz influenced stuff like Astral Weeks.
I like blues. Delta and hill country hard core blues.

I like a wide variety of rock from heavy metal, to prog rock to classic R&B.
Does any of that help? I know this is a crazy request but if I could get some recommendations I'll at least have somewhere to start. Not looking for specific recordings yet. Just content. When I find what I like I'll research the best recordings.
Thanks for any possible advice.

I got into jazz not long ago when I turned some on doing chores around the house. Now I’m head over heels for it, and am learning about new and great artists everyday. I love a good ballad/slower tempo jazz and created a nice sized Spotify playlist of selections. Here are a few excellent albums I have listened to lately. 
Paul Chambers - Bass On Top - the first song Yesterdays is incredible 

Ike Quebec - Blue And Sentimental and also Heavy Soul - very beautiful and accessible Jazz 

Duke Pearson - Tender Feelin’s - beautiful jazz pianist 

Yusef Lateef - Eastern Sounds - Interesting album and I play the song Love Theme From Spartacus almost everyday. Something about his playing... 

Joe Pass and Oscar Peterson - Porgy and Bess - if you love guitar you will love Joe 

Bill Evans and Jim Hall - Undercurrent - beautiful album from start to finish. Excellent piano via Evans and guitar via Hall. 
Dexter Gordon - Biting The Apple - Dexter has a magical way with Ballads. His rendition of Georgia On My Mind is stunning 

Gene Ammons - Boss Tenor - Gene’s plating is beautiful and touching. He can give me chills and My Romance is a great song off this album. 
Ben Webster & Associates - this album, specifically the song Time After Time really got me into Jazz. The subtlety and beauty of his playing made me feel jazz, and his playing was like beautiful lyrics. 
Coleman Hawkins Quartet - Today and Now - A great song is Love Song From “Apache”. 
I could go on but there’s a few ideas.

@grey9hound  that is because you have exquisite taste!  I learned to play the blues listening to RE.  Saw him live at a Danny Gatton tribute in NYC way back when.

Happy Listening.
