Some fresh jazz straight outta NY. This is the epitome of the evolution of jazz and its current state. On this track specifically, you have to wait a few minutes after the piano intro to really get into the tune.

I don't know enough about modern jazz. I know its history, I know the types to an extent, and I know the famous names -- I just haven't heard enough jazz.

This was good - I think? No basis of comparison. I enjoyed it.

Haha, yes, definitely good. The interesting thing about modern jazz is that it takes the principle from Jazz Fusion of using moods and textures over melodies, but still has a melodic backbone. There's a young group in NY who are doing this kind of thing and it's pretty hip.
