Here are a few of my jazz favorites:
1) Keiko Matsui. One of my favorite artists. If you've never heard her, start with "Live" or the "Collection" She's a jazz pianist but occasionally you can find her music in the new age section. Most of the time she is considered "smooth jazz". Personally, I can't stand the "smooth jazz" genre in general, but Keiko mixes it up a lot.
2)The Bad Plus-These Are the Vistas. I don't have the new album, but this one is very enjoyable and they take a very different approach to jazz.
3)Charles Mingus-Ah Um. A classic. This is the only album I have of him, but I like this one a lot.
4)Medeski Martin & Wood...most anything from them. Funky & groovy!

Yeah, I wasn't sure whether Fleck fit in this category, but he's amazing. As are the Flecktones, which sometimes I think should be called the Wooten-tones.

Definitely Acoustic Alchemy, album Back On the Case, The Beautiful Game, and Radio Contact, one of the most dynamic and best recording I've ever heard, they are my preference for auditioning speakers

I purchased an LP some years ago, Digital Duke (GRP) that was a tribute to Duke Ellington by modern artists who jammed to his tunes.
I was so blown away by both the tunes, and my setup at the time, that when it was issued on CD I purchased that as well.
