I don’t think jazz necessarily needs to fall under one specific sound and that’s what’s so lovely about it. This is a small collection of some modern jazz rap. One honorable mention is ”These Words are Everything” by JonWayne
seconding jazz and all its subgenres/influence, specifically when it branches off and meets eastern artists/instruments makes for sounds that are consistently colorful
some great artists/albums-
off peak hours- ying da-chen
sun ra(any album but sun song is #1)
lamp fall- cheikh lĂ´
sound of siam vol.1
raw materials - rudresh mahanthappa
wayne shorter is such a creative saxophonist and for this album recorded in 1974 he got together this jazz fusion sound taking inspiration from music from all over the world. really a joyful album i love it morning and night. if you’re looking for something more traditional, ”now is the hour” by charlie haden’s quartet west is wonderful. recorded in 1994, it’s classic and romantic capital J Jazz. quality without being corny.
