Very valid point. This has been such a humungous thread that it’s not easy to keep track. But there have been some discussions and recommendations on modern jazz ( Vijay Iyer , Rudresh Manthappa, Slippenbach Trio, Anthony Braxton, Joshua Redman etc have been mentioned now and then). But yes they have not been very frequent for various reasons.Excellent write-up on sax great Rudresh Mahanthappa.
Personally i would love to hear modern jazz artists too on this thread.
@jls001
In addition to Moktan’s recommendations, you may also want to check out:
Medeski, Martin & Wood, John Scofield, Snarky Puppy, est, The Bad Plus, Christian Scott, Christian McBride, Esperanza Spalding, Cecile McLorin Salvant, Gregory Porter, Charlie Hunter, Maisha, Marcus Miller, Joshua Redman, to name a few.
Not all of them are youngsters, but the music is fresh and modern.
Enjoying some six string action this weekend. My fave jazz guitar albums:

I am wondering if deliveries are timely as there is not much air traffic these days...hope you get it on time.Ordered this from Amazon. Wanted to get the Getz/Gilberto 50th anniversary edition, but this has a couple of tracks i dont have in my other Bossa nova album. Any similar sounding albums, recommendations please.

Hi, I order from Amazon.in for cds which are similarly priced and they ship within 2-3 days max. For rare CDs i find musicstack.com to be reliable and many sellers ship from UK to india and i opt for 1st class signed for Royal Mail with tracking and it takes max 3-4 weeks even during this covid period.I am wondering if deliveries are timely as there is not much air traffic these days...hope you get it on time.
There are a few CD's on my shopping cart Amazon uk but I hesitate to buy due to my perception of shipping delays
@coaltrain I do listen to some of the artists you mentioned. I was suggesting that we should have more of them on this thread. Snarky Puppy is one great big band with a revolving line up. Some of the alumni have made it very big on their own (like Cory Henry and Shaun Martin). Esperanza Spalding is an assault on the senses (in the nicest way - she zapped my brain when I first heard her), McLorin Salvant has an uncommon coquettishness and child-like qualities ("I Didn't Know What Time It Was"). I don't know how to classify the very prolific Jacob Collier - he's a force of nature and a genre in himself.
PS: I don't consider Gregory Porter all that jazzy
PS2: recent discoveries for me have been Go Go Penguin and Tom Misch.
Do give a try to Mammal Hands also....If you like Snarky Puppy and Gogo Penguin, you should definitely check out MMW and est (Esbjorn Svensson Trio)
Svennson died in 2008, tragically only 44, but the band had already released quite a few excellent albums. Meanwhile, MMW always knocks me out with their deep grooves, with or without John Scofield. Both groups are trios, but they sound like sextets.
Btw, I agree with you on Porter. I’m also not into Salvant, but these two seem to be the vocal stars of today. Not that they don’t have great voices, but I’m still living in the age of Ella and Billie

your system looks very good in your signature - can you put up a pic of it in the other thread where they show pics of setups.... it will be nice to see and also for other members maybe...
( at your convenience and willingness )

Ella and Billie fan here. And where Billie is , can Lester be far behind ?If you like Snarky Puppy and Gogo Penguin, you should definitely check out MMW and est (Esbjorn Svensson Trio)
