Wow, nice to see his name - not well known. Some of his work is too abstract for me, and more in the "new music" classical realm.

Dave Douglas esp. Tiny Bell Trio records (Live In Europe)
Bobby Previte (Too Close To the Pole, Weather Clear Track Fast)
Don Byron (Tuskegee Experiments, Music For Six Musicians)
Marty Ehrlich (Can You Hear a Motion)
Almost anything with William Parker on bass with Hamid Drake on drums, HIGHLY recommend O'Neal's Porch.
There are different styles of avant garde jazz. If you like free/energy oriented stuff - David S. Ware (Flight of I, Go See the World are good starts) or Franklin Kiermyer (Solomon's Daughter, with Pharoah Sanders is AWESOME) are a couple of favorites. Kidd Jordan from NOLA is a local legend.
Henry Threadgill and several of the AACM (Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians) folks like Lester Bowie. I think Threadgill is one of the most distinct composers in the last several decades. Couple of recommendations are Too Much Sugar For a Dime, Carry the Day.

I enjoy and appreciate just about any genre of music that is done well, having been a musician in early life. Liked some of the well-known artists previously named. Lately have become a fan of German percussionist Sina Doering. She does just about anything, from playing in rock bands to creating wonderful original music and covers. It can be a little difficult to locate that stuff among all the drum covers on her channel. Has over a million subscribers and FIVE HUNDRED MILLION views.
Give these a listen:
Lifetime Update - Ernie Griffin
X-Pack (Ernie Griffin)
Twenty-one Eleven (Mark Moody)
She has a variety of other interesting instrumental performances and her collaborator Juna Serita (a/k/a The Princess of Funk) plays in a Japanese jazz group, Tokyo Groove Jyoshi, sometimes including saxophonist Harumo Imai. Anyone who can play Tower of Power's "What Is Hip?" on a traditional Japanese three-stringed instrument also has my admiration.
Funk No. 1 (Serita)
Kunoichi (Juna Serita)

Thanks man. I loaded up my jazz recommendation playlist

Growing up in New Orleans I always liked classic Dixieland jazz, but it took me getting older to appreciate trad and modern jazz. My son then grew up to go to NOCCA as a jazz pianist, so I listen a lot these days.
That being said, this is still one of my favorite scenes from the office. Jazz is Stupid...

If you have any interest in Jazz vocals, here is a "jazz bar" original composed and sung by Angelina Jordan, now 15, who actually appeared at age 8 as a child lounge singer in the Netflix show "Lilyhammer".
Lilyhammer - I'm A Fool To Want You
Seventh Heaven (Jordan)
She began her career at age 7 by singing Billie Holiday's "Gloomy Sunday" as an audition for Norway's Got Talent, and won the competition at 8 singing Gershwin's "Summertime" in the finals. Born in Oslo, her native language is Norwegian - her father is Swedish, her mother is Japanese-Iranian - so English was an acquired language by age 7.

n my late 20s, and as of late all I can seem to listen to is Jazz playlists on Spotify. It really is so relaxing and interesting at the same time. My wife keeps laughing at me saying I’m turning into an old man. But it just seems leaps and bounds better than the shite on the radio today.

Love it, and highly recommend....
Five CD's and a cool book talking about the music.

Reviving this, because for some reason today I got "The Necessary Blues" by the Don Pullen - George Adams Quartet stuck in my head. That led to finding this fantastic video of a live performance in Germany on Youtube. Big fan of this group but never got to see them so this is pretty exciting for me.
The Necessary Blues Pt 1 of 3
It'll play the next 2 parts automatically... they do an extended improv on it and Pullen in particular shows off his avant garde / Cecil Taylor influences in the early Pt 2. These guys all played with Mingus in the 70s (except of course for the bass player) and are at the tip freaking top of their games here.

I just don't know as much about jazz as I do some other genres.
I do like Getz/Astrud Gilberto, Barney Kessel, any good sax player, a little Jon-Luc Ponty, and Mose Allison

Go to a show at Snug Harbor here in NOLA. You'll love it.

I'm around your age and I love jazz, especially piano.
Good jazz is nothing like elevator music.
Passport Rambling (VIntage German Jazz)
Oscar Peterson - he flies across the keyboard.
Oscar Peterson C Jam Blues Live
Oscar Peterson is my favorite jazz pianist, a true master of his craft. I wish there was a time travel machine where I could go back and listen to that live performance in Denmark.
I can play a pretty mean rendition of C Jam Blues.

Yes. Just about everything Miles Davis did between 1950 and 1980 is required listening.
Most of the Wayne Shorter stuff from the 60s is outstanding and the intensity in the performances rivals anything I've heard in rock.
Freddie Hubbard and Herbie Hancock - Pretty much anything they played on is worth listening to.
Chick Corea - Now he sings, now he sobs. All of the Return to Forever stuff. My favorite fusion band. Hymn of the Seventh Galaxy is my favorite album of theirs.

Try Gilberto Gil, Djavan, Stacy Kent and Nara Leao.

Also look up Panorama Jazz Band from New Orleans. They play a mix of jazz with various Eastern European and Latin American influences. They usually play every Sat at The Spotted Cat on Frenchman.

Oscar Peterson is undeniably great and legendary. Hopefully any fan of his goes back and appreciates his inspiration, Art Tatum. He inspired the phrase "God is in the house", supposedly said by pianist Fats Waller on hearing him play at a club. Tatum wasn't regularly recorded early in his career (from late 1920s) but there was a long series of CDs issued on the Pablo label as "Solo" or "Group Masterpieces" that collected a lot of recordings made in the 1950s.
Here's a montage of a few different rare live clips of Tatum:
