      There’s some great modern jazz coming out of Japan these days. Check out the likes of:

      • Hiromi Uehara (and the Trio Project)
      • Takuya Kuroda
      • Sinsuke Fujieda Group

      Also, UK too, check out the Ezra Collective.

      Plenty of modern jazz out there, it’s just not mainstream anymore.


      Edit - forgot about Ibrahim Maalouf. Dude is incredible on the trumpet. Between him and Kuroda, trumpet jazz is alive and well.
