I am a big fan of Down to the Bone. If you like them, then I would highly recommend Four 80 East's "The Album" (they sound very much like Down to the Bone). I would also suggest that you listen to Instinct Record's "The Best of Acid Jazz Volume 2." This is a terrific sampler of some recent acid jazz music by a number of artists. I particularly like tracks 1, 2, 7, 9, and 10. I second Barrelchief's recommendation of Gordon Goodwin's Big Phat Band. I like his "Swinging for the Fences" album. While many of the tracks have a very funky big band feel, you will probably really like "There's the Rub."
My last two recommendations are slightly different in flavor but also blend rock, blues, and jazz with funk. They are Galactic (try "Coolin' Off" and "Late for the Future") and the Greyboy Allstars ("West Coast Boogaloo," "Live," and "A Town Called Earth" are all fantastic albums). These are two of the best modern jazz bands out there.
