You should try Al di Meola's "Elegant Gypsy". It's not a "hardcore" jazz, but thanks to this it is much easier to listen when you just start your jazz adventure.

For blues, try Eric Clapton's album "From the Cradle", if you don't mind a lot of the tracks sounding very similar.  I'd recommend "Eric Clapton - Unplugged" for a much better collection of acoustic tracks, including some blues. :)

Yes, Al Di Meola is indeed recommendable.
Herbie Hancock's Head Hunters is a must hear album too.
For different, more straight forward popjazz try Lee Ritenour's The Very Best of Lee Ritenour.  
Here's Lee, by the way he plays on some tracks on Pink Floyd's the Wall

If you watch these I'm sure you'll like atleast one of them.
