White Denim's first several albums were solidly in the alt-rock vein. Their music has evolved over the years, and gotten more soulful and complex, and have turned into a jazz-rock band sounding an awful lot like classic Steely Dan. It's very listenable... listen:

I haven't checked out ^^^that clip yet, but I'm betting one of those "unexpected and awesome" cover songs is Madonna's "Live To Tell" right? I heard his trio with Joey & Kermit play that at The Knitting Factory (original location) sometime in the early 90s and it nearly brought me to tears.
The youtube "You Probably Like This..." algorithm has pretty much figured out that I'm a sucker for anything featuring Bill Frisell, or Pat Metheny, or John McLaughlin, or Allan Holdsworth, or Herbie Hancock, or Chick Corea, or Lee Ritenour, or Simon Phillips, or Snarky Puppy, or Dave Weckl, or Wes Montgomery, or Dennis Chambers, or Frank Zappa (okay, most of those Zappa clips aren't "jazz") so that's what I've been listening to lately.

Yea, The Algorithm's kinda got my number, too. If you haven't checked him out yet, try Gilad Hekselman. And I suspect Oz Noy fits in with your tastes as well.

To expand a bit:
I first heard Bill Frisell (after having first seen a photo of him an an ad for Marshall amps, no less) on Lyle Mays' first solo album, which has been one of the steadiest listens in my entire musical life. I listen to it probably once every month, except when I listen to it several times over a few days.
Anyway - the atmospheric and at times dissonant stuff Frisell was doing on that record really caught my ear, and I have loved everything he's done over the 38 years since I first heard him. His ability to do "weird" stuff in the context of jazz standards and pop and country songs is just one of the most exhilarating listens available, for my money. And I am quite fond of his original compositions as well.
Anyway, back to work. Have a listen.
