New School Jazz
The likes of Robert Glasper and Esperanza Spalding on the popular front and BadBadNotGood in the underground have been doing a lot for modern jazz and it's great to see them energise the genre again. And its not lacking in quality acts.
Here's Darryl Reeves (a bit surprised to search the org and not find a single hit for him):

I haven't heard of Darryl Reeves before and really love what I'm hearing here!!! Thanks so much for posting and creating this thread. It does seem like there is a new school of Jazz becoming more and more popular these days. I'm going to check out more of Darryl Reeves. Thanks for this 
You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

That lick is dope. But I didn't like song as a whole. It sounds like Sunday brunch jazz that my 60 year old father likes. It's not any better than what came before. I don't know what to make of Glasper (I don't like Spalding). I'm a classicist when it comes to jazz and I kinda like when jazzers play "out." Glasper isn't saying anything I can't hear Andrew Hill say (who is a bit abstruse and abstract) or Tyner. New School Jazz sounds like Vince Guraldi - not a diss on Vince but c'mon!....however, that's just me!
I like this, tho':

Drummer Karriem Riggins (Dilla, Common, Slum Village, Talib Kweli and The Roots) releasing debut material on Stones Throw with a lot of gritty, experimental jazz.

(Listen to samples in the link above.)
Here's Madlib bringing in Karriem and keyboardist James Poyser (Soulquarians, The Roots) on one of his jazz forays:
