Modern Jazz

Gondwana Records put out some good jazz records from the likes of Nat Birchall and Matthew Halsall.
In a similar vein there is also Finn Peters.
I've also got a lot of time for this Max Grunhard Quintet tune:

After binging on "classic" modal & progressive jazz from the '60s - '70s I thought I should give modern jazz a crack too.

That DOMi & Beck vid is really quite amusing old chap.
Music is a bit noodly though. They’re very talented but I’d still rate them if they just sat in the pocket of a nice simple groove.

Yeah JD is a bit... well, he shows restraint in the size of his kit, which is a good start - nothing guarantees overplaying like a huge kit - but he still sort of overplays for my tastes. But then, that's jazz. A huge chunk of the genre flosses too hard for my ears. He's clearly very strong at it and they are clearly made for each other's playing, and I enjoy the occasional vid from them, but yeah. I'm not racing to download and 1x repeat.

A taste here and there is nice. I like checking in on Domi and Beck occasionally but I'm not sweating their release schedule, I'll put it that way.

The deliberate low-fi keyboards sound like a lucky-bag Casio / musical birthday card after a while. It's a nice melody and chords, would suit a piano and additional bass. Would make it warmer. Like Kiefer always goes with the distorted piano and I know that's his signature but it gets annoying.They are not the worst noodlers though. A lot of Pat Metheny and bass solos leave me cold. But it's personal taste, no? Maybe your ear just gets tired of all the notes after 12 tunes. It's like art, sometimes something really technically masterful is beautiful, sometimes just a simple shape is, if it's the right shape. Sometimes you are the surfer, sometimes you need to be the wave.

I find quite a lot of it too be too fusion for my taste.So has anyone got any post nineties or so recommendations for good jazz (that isn't fusion)?

Swayze knew what’s up.
Mind you, I probably do like fusion - is this within the genre?
