I need contemporary jazz recs, I know jazz isn't dead and I need people (like Sredni and TNS and anyone else in the know) to post some jazz here for me

How contemporary do you need?

Also, Meta is a good person to ask.

Kamasi Washington's The Epic came out last year and that was one of the rare jazz records that was so well-regarded I was hearing about it in my (decidedly non-jazz) circles. Maybe start there.

It is very long though. Almost 3 hours I think.

1959 oughta be contemporary enough, right? right?

also, Madlib's Shades Of Blue is a jazz/rap hybrid that is more equally weighted than most of those, and that's only about 10 years old, and is really, really good.

I love Madlib you guys.

San Antonio has a great jazz radio station, and you can stream their broadcast online at krtu.org. They play a very thorough mix of old and new jazz; about the only thing I haven't heard from them is the really abrasive free jazz, like Peter Bröntzmann or John Zorn.

I'm really not that well-versed in jazz, but here are a couple suggestions for recent jazz:

1. Platina Jazz

Swedish pianist/remixer/composer, perhaps best known internationally for his work for anime series, has a series of anime-themed jazz albums by this name, performed by fellow Swedes.

2. Protodome

Chiptune jazz by a UK artist. Here's a sample:
