Modern Jazz (as in recent) Music Suggestions


Like many a jazz lovers, I absolutely love the sound of the usual suspects - John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Dave Brubeck, Sonny Rollins, Stan Getz, etc.

I was wondering if anyone can recommend artists/groups from the more recent era (1995 and onwards) that maintain the same sonic signature but perhaps infuse their music with more modern (e.g. fusion, rock) artifacts ala Romantic Warrior. 

P.S. Not a fan of 'big band' jazz or swing, but dig the bossa nova sound

Ambrose Akinmusire has two very interesting CD's out, jazz with a very current sensibility, but not so far out from those you list and like.
