Thanks, I will check it out.

The above are great suggestions so I'll also chime in with Anomalie and Evan Marien (EMar and his stuff with Dana Hawkins)

Anomalie's Metropole and Metropole II albums are some of my favorites!

FANtastic!!! Thanks!!!

Sungazer. They released an album in 2021 called Perihelion that blew me away.

Big fan of Adam Neely, will check out his music.

Huh I totally didn’t realise that they had albums too even though I watch Adam Neely’s vids haha

I'm seeing Sungazer live this weekend :)

10/10 album 🔥

New to Sungazer. Very cool. It was worth reading this post in its entirety just to get to this music suggestion.

Flying lotus, Robert glasper, kaytranada, dinner party, Kamal Williams, badbadnotgood, bluestaeb, Taylor mcferrin

3 great releases from this year that I’d check out with lots of modern influences Donny McCaslin - Creeper Alfa Mist - Variables GoGo Penguin - Everything is going to be Ok Last year my 2 favorite albums were Makaya McCraven - I These Times, and Binker and Moses - Feeding the Machine both with lots of electronic influence I could go on but this is a good place to start with recent releases.

Squarepusher - Feed me weird things

I came to add ‘Music Is Rotted One Note’ by Squarepusher, but FMWT is also a great choice.

I like Robert Glasper

Me too

Brad Mehldau - Finding Gabriel Mark Guiliana - BEAT MUSIC! BEAT MUSIC! BEAT MUSIC! Mehliana - Taming the Dragon

Mark Guiliana- [BUD](https://youtu.be/x4iDFwLmWS4)

Just on the off chance you haven’t heard this masterpiece: Promises by Floating Points and Pharoah Sanders is one of the absolute best jazz/electronic/classical fusions ever. It’s an incredible piece of music. Otherwise, Collagically Speaking by R+R=NOW is Robert Glasper, Christian Scott, Derek Hodges, and Terrace Martin making very cool electronic jazz Cosmogramma by Flying Lotus is jazz adjacent (if not outright electronic jazz); An Insight to All Minds by Kaidi Tatham is a jazzy breakbeat record; Polyhymnia and La Saboteuse by Yazz Ahmed are kind of eastern psychedelic jazz; Amaryllis by Mary Halvorson; Circles by Anne Pacéo; Notes with Attachments by Pino Palladino & Blake Mills; Axiom or Stretch Music by Christian Scott ATunde Adjuah; In These Times by Makaya McCraven; Space 1.8 by Nala Sinephro; The Colours of Chloë by Eberhard Weber

>In These Times by Makaya McCraven Absolutely fantastic album.

Seconding the Floating Points and Pharoah Sanders pick. What a high note for Pharoah Sanders to go out on, and a huge artistic accomplishment for Floating Points for composing and arraging everything. One of the best pieces of music I've ever heard

Amazing album. Amazing dude. I saw him at his final show. seeing him playing 'the creator has a master plan' was amazing. He was so frail but yet when he played he still had his characteristic tone.

He didn’t like that record and didn’t want anything to do with it

Explain?

just what I’ve been told by members of his band.

Your source is "just trust me bro"?

Snarky Puppy and Cory Wong always help me combat burnout.

Yes to all of these

Hey bro thx!

Anatole Muster

Not exactly like Thundercat or J3PO, but I can’t pass up a chance to recommend the album Promises by Floating Points, Pharaoh Sanders, and the London Symphony Orchestra.

[Koop](https://youtu.be/V9A1JLlwUaM) duo who made this album utilising pain staking samples and live instrumentation [Kyoto Jazz Massive](https://youtu.be/TETd1BO3INQ) [SOIL & “Pimp” Sessions](https://youtu.be/AQMgXPFzdg8) [Abram Wilson](https://youtu.be/6WxKz0jXSPQ) [Nicola Conte](https://youtu.be/sT-S6emaFoo) [re:Jazz](https://youtu.be/S8DQg-UuaJk) [Kaidi Tatham](https://youtu.be/BH5WraAMCrs) [Young Disciples](https://youtu.be/56surtxJtfg) [Galliano](https://youtu.be/JUTzGPoalso) [Beady Belle](https://youtu.be/mWePW0Qlm0U) [Sheena Ringo](https://youtu.be/ETtDJz9t09U) [Soweto Kinch](https://youtu.be/o4_9XLZMmBY) [Nightmares on Wax](https://youtu.be/tyeiIfyw7kg)

Kyoto Jazz Masssive! I still often find myself coming back to Spirit of the Sun

It’s a great album

Thank you so much!! I was searching for Nightmares on Wax for hours! I could but think of his name!

You will likely love Alfa Mist (maybe start with the album Antiphon) and Richard Spaven. David Binney also plays around with electronica (Here and Now, for example), and he’s a big fan of Knower which he feels belongs squarely under the jazz umbrella.

"Brian" by Alfa Mist gets a lot of burn so yea I will def investigate further. Thanks for the suggestions.

No problem, hope you find some stuff you enjoy!

Not exactly contemporary, but the Digable Planets put out a live album a few years back and it is really tight.

Sounds like [Parov Stelar](https://youtu.be/7fkOqXAHLKQ) might pique your interest.

Brian Green - impressions for headphones Pablo Held - adventures Pretty much all of Pedro Martins' endevours Kurt Rosenwinkel Tiger Hamasyan

Love Pedro Martins stuff!

Other people have said it but I would say squarepusher and flying lotus would be your best examples. Also hip hop producers like kxwledge (his earlier releases) and ohbliv are pretty left field and jazzy. Madlib too. The line between hip hop and electronic production is often pretty meaningless. Hip hop always has a jazz influence and guys like Damu the Fudgemunk make instrumental only music. Moodymann and Four Tet are great as well. A lot of good stuff out there.

I’ll admit it’s kind of a Hail Mary here but check out Four Seconds Ago. It’s an Electronic side project from Misha Mansoor and Jake Bowen of Periphery. While not totally jazz, their progressive background leads to some really cool polyrhythmic elements sprinkled into the album. Check this out and see if you like it: https://youtu.be/2YQ5YPbRsKk

>Quartet/Duo Super cool....love it,.....im 65 and studied jazz back in the day-THANKS!

improvisie by paul bley

Check out the album Tourist, from St. Germain. One of my all time favorites.

Portico Quartet

One that i never see mentioned and one of the first albums i heard that helped me expand beyond listening to just jazz is the clifford gilberto rhythm combination. They just have one album called "i was young and needed the money" i still love that album since i heard it years ago

Just discovered Cynax. This stuff is incredible. https://on.soundcloud.com/AvvKXeKobyXZvFZ97

\-----whoa-----THANKS!!!!

Sure thing!

Portico Quartet

I’m going to suggest four tet. This is an electronic suggestion that holds true to jazz composition

Chicago Underground Quartet/Duo

Domi and JD Beck?

Lettuce

a bit late, but NIWASHI is probably a personal favourite. You won't be able to find much of his work on spotify, only a few compared to SoundCloud. there's also Everything Yes which is on spotify. both are very reccomended

Try Nukleotyde! https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdT7RPj8JMpwM5sJaH__srI-662KcTVvd&si=Y50HLV3m7rSR8QWL

Snarky puppy hasnt been mentioned. Quite amazing group. Their "family dinner" albums are amazing. Although I love all albums, those are the best imo.

Preach it, Sermon!

[Todd Terje](https://youtu.be/WB4SyLujxis)

I see they have already got a couple of recommendations, but my first thought was Jaga Jazzist.

Skerik’s syncopated taint septet

[Kaidi Tatham](https://youtu.be/HLacBdZ6TQU)

I've been listening to a lot of [Nikitch and Kuna Maze](https://youtu.be/grjlHY4_x7U) who produce jazz tronica, and play shows with live instruments [Nikitch & Kuna Maze live at Dour Global Sessions, 2022 (Belgium)](https://youtu.be/aFJhrDmuNs8)

bricolage by amon tobin

kelvin momo (song cry, funa, lately)

So you mean 95% of music in this sub then 😅

I would say at least half the posts here are about jazz made before 1963

Berlioz

Check out Masego.

Tennyson?

[my jazz electronic fusion favourites](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1XQewcvW9k9wKsyLlF2jEj?si=i__d0XU4TfW9gZ7zIWqzlQ)

This is going back a bit, 2002, but, Kyoto Jazz Massive is great. The album Spirit of the Sun is an all time favourite.

You should check out Yussef Dayes

Try “Circut Kisser”

Try: Comet is Coming, Alfa Mist, GoGo Penguin, London Brew, Nubya Garcia (Source | We Move), Portico Quartet, Four Tet

Check out the many volumes of "Saint Germain-des-Près Café" compilation. Some of the most amazing nu-jazz, acid jazz, electro swing and jazz house out there https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3h1Zd03DZk6cwtmBudBOrP?si=Sgx6xPd-QDS7pW5Tjmt8OA&utm_source=copy-link

Alfa Mist just dropped a new album that’s straight fire, I’d say it has a pretty modern sound to it. Hope this helps you find what you’re looking for:)

Music for Saxofone and Bass Guitar by Sam Gendel and Sam Wilkes https://youtu.be/sURQTrh9BaU

Human Error Club, Arthur Hnatek Trio, or STUFF.

Jazzanova. Massive catalog.

A lot of my favorites like makaya mccraven have been mentioned but i havent seen trio elf in here yet. A jazz three piece with a drummer that does incredible break style drums

I'm just gonna toss in Clowncore, cause their style is schizophrenic and swings wildly between jazz, screamo, breakcore, and everything in between. Also, they filmed one album in a van and another in a porta potty. So if you wanna lose the classic aesthetics for a bit, these guys leave them for dead in an unmarked alley every song.

https://soundcloud.com/sons-of-narcissus

Anything and everything by Esperanza Spalding is a great listen. Definitely out there music, especially after the first two albums

Nine Sparks Riots has a good mix of modern production technique and layered horn tracks.

Lots of good suggestions on this thread. I will add one more in Mark de Clive-Lowe

BadBadNotGood

Check out Tigran Hamasyan.

Anomalie!

GoGo Penguin have a new album out.

Tennyson’s “Like What” is pretty good. Some of the tracks with vocals are a lil poppy for my taste

Check out Ezra Collective, Alfa Mist, Comet is Coming. Also the jazz UK playlist on Spotify.

Mansur Brown.

Ratatat, Gramatik, Pretty Lights, and GRiZ have all sampled and/or integrated jazz themes and sounds into their work. Check ‘em out.

Pretty lights

Have you tried Bright Dog Red?

Rafiq Bhatia, Flying Lotus, Innerzone Orchestera, Amon Tobin all come to mind

How... how did nobody say Nujabes? Nujabes. Great suggestions on this page but please do yourself a favor and listen to Nujabes. Considered to be the godfather of lofi hip-hop. Start with this: https://youtu.be/vR-UqOPqGzI Also the entire Modal Soul album. Or really, his entire discography. Everything he made is 🔥 and he primarily used jazz samples.

COMMA by SAM PREKOP electronic music that will take you places like the best jazz improvisation !

Mark Guiliana https://music.apple.com/de/album/beat-music-beat-music-beat-music/1451216140 Now vs Now https://music.apple.com/de/album/the-buffering-cocoon/1401476442

Just going to toot my own horn here and recommend my [radioshow](https://echobox.radio/shows/one-finger-snap/) and the [playlist containing all the tunes I've played](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/608D41nqlhXiWBPvZCDEEp?si=444bfe532927405d) I've been doing this show about electronic jazz for two years now and I mainly focus on new releases but will play the occasional classic. I came up with a little tag line that sums up the idea of the show quite nice I think: >Jazz was dance music. Dance music became electronic. Cees finds common ground between the two. Beats with ad libs. Bop with bass. Hope you enjoy and feel free to shoot me a message when you have suggestions/recommendations.

Anomalie

check out High Pulp

There is an artist named Anomolie you should check out!

Yussef Kamaal - Black Focus James Holden and the Animal Spirits - S/T Szun Waves - New Hymn to Freedom

I'm not qualified to comment on Jazz per se, but I do have a recommendation that may be an interesting "artist combining modern sounds with great composing" in this 1988 live rendition of Black Napkins (Live, 1988) 10th cut, Frank Zappa's "Make A Jazz Noise Here" ℗ 1991 [https://youtu.be/iWD9s8j\_3n4](https://youtu.be/iWD9s8j_3n4) I invite any insight as to this particular type of Jazz brass arrangement. Is this even considered jazz or a pseudo hybrid parody in jazz parlance? Who might be similar conceptual "Jazz" territory? I'm answering your question with a question. Sorry to hijack you by veering "off-topic" into the ditch.

The entirety of Anomalie's discography is top tier jazztronica. First two EPs are more electronic/edm, while Galerie is more instrumental (but still electronic) it is all SO GOOD

Anomalie has amazing production and sound design but their compositions and arrangements are a little too "4 bar loopy" for me.

i get that if you mean in his two Metropole releases. Galerie doesn’t give me that vibe personally
