Modern Jazz (as in recent) Music Suggestions


Like many a jazz lovers, I absolutely love the sound of the usual suspects - John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Dave Brubeck, Sonny Rollins, Stan Getz, etc.

I was wondering if anyone can recommend artists/groups from the more recent era (1995 and onwards) that maintain the same sonic signature but perhaps infuse their music with more modern (e.g. fusion, rock) artifacts ala Romantic Warrior. 

P.S. Not a fan of 'big band' jazz or swing, but dig the bossa nova sound

Thanks, guys. Really appreciate the suggestions. For now, I'm trying to see which of the recommended artists are available on Tidal. Unfortunately, Jerome Sabbaugh, as well as Brad Mehdaul, are not there, so I might order the CD later. I did listen to the sample track and it sounds really good. Exactly what I was looking for.

I did find Alan Pasqua (Anti-social Club) on Tidal. Really enjoyed it. Some tracks are a bit too up-tempo for my taste but quite a few (e.g. Prayer) were quite good. And they sound fantastic on my system - very holographic. Thanks for the suggestion, ghosthouse.

I will definitely try to listen to other suggestions on Tidal, if available, over the weekend.
