Great suggestions! I would expand that list with a couple more modern recommends, like Kamasi Washington, Shabaka And The Ancestors, Nubya Garcia, or even Portico Quartet. Some Jazz/fusion-adjacent acts as well, such as BADBADNOTGOOD, The Comet is Coming, or Thundercat. The genre is thriving today.

taking the coattails of your comment with great artists to throw out The Bad Plus. Fantastic body of work, highly creative and absolutely rocking jazz band. Granted, I'm most familiar with their Ethan Iverson discography. Dave King (drummer) is exciting as hell to watch.
To the uninitiated but curious - start with their mind blowing covers and branch out from there.

Dave King also has a truly hilarios Youtube channel called "Rational Funk": https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tK-hfpvwivg
It's a series of satirical "inspirational" drum instruction videos. Sadly, he stopped making new episodes a while ago.
