A few additions that you might like - When I think of "old-school" Jazz styles, these come to mind:
Going back to the "old days" - find original and re-vamped compositions by Thelonius Monk
and some of the small ensembles played by Duke Ellington (he was more than just a big-band leader - he was a VERY accomplished pianist...)
Also, some stuff by the "Modern Jazz Quartet" (they were big in the 1950's)
Although Dizzy Gillespie had a career that spanned several sub-genres - so he could be considered at least "semi-modern".
If you like to listen to dudes on Trumpet - maybe also check out Maynard Ferguson (although, at times, I find his "screech" style a bit tiring...)
[He usually played with a TERRIFIC backup band]
I do not really know a broad assortment of new performers - but if you check the list of recent guest performers from The Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra (TJaLCO) -
That should give you some good names to research and see what you like - That's where I "discovered" Ms. Sung's work on the Ivories;-)
and a very accomplished "kid" on Bass = Carlos Henriquez

S... Weather Report is great jazz band,they are a cross mixture of Jazz Styles,if you like what I call standard jazz coupled with sexy female vocalists then by all means grab every album by Esperanza Spalding ,I could watch her eat spaghetti and be happy just knowing she's gonna sing later ,and she's a hell of a good standard bass player . I'll check her music out. Weather Report is ok.. but the fusion or modern jazz just doesn't do it for me (at the moment). Maybe as time goes, I'll kinda be more open to it. I do like this group called Hot Sardines.. cool sound. |

It's similar to how I came across Ms Sung... Listening to an XM radio interview of her.. and they played her music. |

I think the biggest name in Jazz will always be Miles davis, my favorite album from him would have to be *bleep* Brew which i own on vinyl as well, so many smaller groups out there as well but really don't get much in the way of radio play. Do you have any local jazz clubs ? those are always fun to hit up, live jazz is really great  Chad Yes.. Miles is awesome. I love so much of his music.. not so much the *bleep* Brew stuff.. not there yet. But his Sketches of Spain is on another level. Nope.. no jazz clubs here. But once in a while there is a jazz band playing a local restaurant.. I'm never in town for it. A couple of places have "cool jazz" or maybe soul jazz.. and not my style. I should still go and just enjoy and try to learn to appreciate it. |

A who’s who of jazz legends without question… Thanks for the tips.. I've discovered a lot of the 50s and 60 era of jazz greats.. and keep finding more. I could probably spend the rest of my life just listening to those 2 or 3 decades.. there's jist so much. But like I said earlier... Are there young musicians or groups playing hard bop nowadays? Or Bop? Kind of carrying on that style? I was listening to some of Christian McBride's Gettin To It . He's relatively young.. and the album is mid 90s era.. but great sounds.. |

The jazz I like all occurred before *bleep* Brew. After that, the eggs got too scrambled for me to follow, if you get my drift. I still can listen to Bill Frisell and Pat Methany.

 So here's someone I heard recently.. via XM radio's Classic Jazz channel.. she was featured today and interviewed on air .. a very young, new artist.. early 20s. Plays straight ahead Jazz . more of the style I like. Like Helen Sun, she discovered Jazz while a classical music student. I listened to this album and the music is great. Kinda that 50 , 60s style I like. If anyone has the time.. listen to it and tell me what you think |

It sucks we get " bleeped " out for an album title lol but I agree that Miles Davis album " Female Dog " Brew is an absolute masterpiece,if I remember correctly that album was the creation of fusion jazz as it relates to jazz incorporating elements of hard rock and funk ,there's always been a debate weather it was Miles Davis or Frank Zappa who was the originator of Fusion,I own 102 Zappa albums including the 1st 12 & the only Zappa album of that era I would consider being fusion is Hot Rats which was released 2 years after Miles released Bleep Brew ,anyhow as far as fusion jazz goes it's the finest example . |

I had no idea FZ had jazz roots.. and had that many albums. Wow. I know who he is, his kids, etc, but was never a fan.. everything I'd hear from him (70s era) sounded to bizzare. Im going to look up Hot Rats just to check it out. |

If you like the Jazz / Rock / Funk mix of that one - take a listen to one of the later Miles Davis albums = "Tutu" I think that the music on it is in a pretty regular "Jazz" style - but the background rhythms incorporate a bit of "funk" / an urban vibe I like that one for when I'm in a Jazz mood, but want something that is "different"... A friend had a Zappa album on Vinyl where somebody had scribed "Polka down with your bad self" on the master - is was stamped into the album near the run-out track... |

I keep meaning to play it on Tidal.. today's the day (Tutu) And, maybe follow "Tutu" with a listen to "Amandla" - both feature Marcus Miller a great deal (producer on both albums as well. |

Im going to look up Hot Rats just to check it out. Zappa put out 9 very solid fusion jazz albums that explore the absolute limits of musicianship much like the Mahavishnu Orchestra ,this piece is a good example of the jazz you'll hear from Frank Zappa ,from the album The Grand Wazoo the track is Eat That Question ,this is a live version played by Frank's son Dweezil band Zappa plays Zappa,my ear thinks it's some of the finest fusion jazz ever written or played & on Par with Miles Davis . youtu.be/cxoNPg6cv04 |

Just fyi, actual jazz musicians don't think that much of Frank Zappa or John McLaughlin.
Miles Davis, yes, he a;most singlehandedly changed the course of jazz.
