Thanks for the suggestions. I will surely give them a try. The only recent Jazz musician that I have heard is Kamasi Washington.

Julian Lage and Kurt Rosenwinkle are another couple of guitarists to check out. Deep Song, by Kurt, and Gladwell, by Julian, are great entry points into their music!

Kamasi is a current darling. Right now two schools are en vogue: a more fusiony, dancable crossover kind where groups like Snarky Puppy, Mononeon, Thundercat and Sungazer are up front, and a more traditionally anchored, but edgier sonic architecture is applied kind of school populated by Kamasi, James Hurt, Robert Glasper, Daniel Casimir, Shabaka Hutchings, and anything on the Brownswood or Jazz Re:freshed labels...

I would try Jazzmeia Horn on vocals. She is an absolute monster.

Mark Guiliana on drums is as good as anyone ever too.

Tigran Hamasyan is my tip of the day. Amazing jazz-armenian fusion!
