    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.
