dead on. for more examples of what goes by "jazz" these days:

Takuya Kuroda - Rising Son : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mUymaxWmMw

Hiatus Kaiyote - The World It Softly Lulls : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqzFgkkQXWw

Kamasi Washington - Changing of the Guard : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtQRBzSN9Vw

Snarky Puppy - Don't You Know : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqY3FaZmh-Y

Thundercat - Them Changes : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNCd_ERZvZM

Jordan Rakei - Talk to Me : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkvdRNi7qQE

Flying Lotus - MmmHmm : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uCyv05SG1g

None of these tunes could have been made any time before 2010, and all are clearly jazz (or at least heavily inspired by Jazz). With R&B, (Neo-)Soul, and other jazz forms re-emerging in pop music, Jazz remains the source of much of modern musical innovation.

Nice list. Here are a few additions

Tigran Hamasyan - To Love: https://youtu.be/jPwUe8SFOow

Hiromi Uehara - Warrior: https://youtu.be/Xy8__IvtMOs

Kneebody and Daedelus - Drum Battle: https://youtu.be/LKq0Kv7GlgU

i like the songs, but to me it still looks like there is no innovation going on there. Just repackaging of old themes using new (digital) instruments. I think nothing comes close to Alan Holdsworth in terms of innovation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXSd-WyrtfA

I just listened to the first song, and it doesn't seem that new: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZvAsVj4IJg

[21echoes]

well maybe listen to more than one ;D

I included that one as an example of how artists are merging instrumental hip hop back in with Jazz; there's plenty of other styles of Jazz in the list! You're right that a global statement of "couldn't have been made before 2010" for the whole list was a bit over the top.

That's an excellent playlist there, thank you.
