I started listening to jazz like two years ago. So the first album I listened to was Kind of Blue, I didn't like it. It was to 'hardcore' for me I guess.
But then I found Candido's - Thousand Finger Man and Harold Alexander's - Sunshine Man. Those two records made me a fan of jazz instantly.
Jazz-funk may not be real jazz for some people, but for me it was a good place to start.

I do like Kind of Blue now
