Modern Jazz (as in recent) Music Suggestions

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.

Based on what you said about Alan Pasqua, I'd suggest checking out drummer extraordinaire Brian Blades Fellowship Bands recordings.

Check out the ATC label.
Avashai Cohen (trumpet and bass...2 different guys)
Snarky Puppy
Vijay Iyer
Chris Potter
Sean Jones
Fred Hersch 
Linda Oh
Brecker Brothers
Dave Douglas
Jeremy Pelt
Wyclffe Gordon
Joe Lovano
Christian Scott
Branford Marsalis
Marcus Miller
Kenny Garrett
Brian Blade
This, along with the above suggestions, is just a small taste of the last 20 years of new-er jazz artists. And then there are the vocalists.

jbrrp1,
I second your Ambrose recommendation.  I have seen him perform a number of times.  Incredible use of the trumpet. I find him extremely inventive...a bit heady at times, but well worth multiple listenings.

Arafiq - glad you like the Alan Pasqua (well some of it!).  Sound quality is really good...even on Spotify  ;-).  A few of the tracks can be a bit challenging but keep listening and it's almost like "the logic" starts to sink in.  I'm listening to it as I write (bought the CD today and burned it to hard drive).  For the Ambrose fans in this thread, worth noting he plays on this recording. Nels Cline guitarist extraordinaire of Wilco is on it too.  Not sure why he's slumming w/Jeff Tweedy (kidding).  Anyway, it's a recording that keeps drawing me back...too few of those these days.  Good thread you started.  Thanks.  I'll be following it and checking out some of the other recommendations.
