Terence Blanchard followed Wynton Marsalis both New Orleans born but Wynton is an impossible act to follow.
I prefer Woody Shaw but can't think of any of his recordings that might satisfy the OP's specific parameters.
Noir album recommendations
New member, looking for recommendations for great Noir/Jazz/Film Noir albums, Vinyl or CD. I really enjoy Miles Davis' Ascenseur pour l'échafaud , Chinatown''s soundtrack and more recent artists like Paul Pritchard(Gumshoe Blues, Stool Pigeon) but I'm having a difficult time finding anything that isn't just general Jazz. Really interested in music that evokes that down on his luck Private Investigator in a corrupt city where its always raining and you just cant trust anyone, including the dame that just walked in with a "simple" job.

As @windywoodworker mentioned, there is an entire subgenre called 'noir jazz", or sometimes "dark jazz". Some names to check out: Trigg and Gusset Alex North & His Orchestra Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble ØṔЁŦ Dale Cooper Quartet and the Dictaphones Heroin and your Veins But there are plenty more to explore.
