Go to Bandcamp and there are tons of new jazz artists making killer music. Also realize jazz (like it has always done) has grown to embrace other music such as, but not limited to, hip hop. There is a great scene of what I will call British afro-jazz, with heavy influences of afrobeat. Sons of Kemet would an example. Someone also mentioned Kamasi Washington, another example of creating jazz in a decidedly modern vein. I picked up an album by a bassist named Junius Paul that just slams.
I love Mingus and Monk as much as the next guy but you gotta seek in order to find.
