Your favorite Jazz album - w/in last 5 years

Night and the City, Kenny Barron and the Charlie Haden Quartet West. Stunning live recording from 1998.

If you mean a non-reissue in the last 5 years, then I would say either Wayne Shorter's Footprints or for an album that might just change jazz in the long-run...the Bad Plus "These Are the Vistas"

On the other hand...the best jazz released in the last 5 years are probably re-issues, oh well

"I'm Beginning To See the Light" by Martin Taylor and David Grisman on Acoustic Disc.

Absolutely supurb swinging jazz with great fidelity. Martin Taylor played guitar with Stephanne Grapelli for many years so it's got some of that Django Reinhardt feel, but the music is more modern and cool. Grisman is the master of jazz mandolin (and great recordings via his in home studio).

It's often filed under David Grisman and Martin Taylor. That is how Amazon lists it.
