Switching from lo-fi to jazz recently for focus music. Just listening to spotify playlist right now, but would be interested in bingeing an artist if anyone can recommend one

I have a lot of modern jazz Opinions and recs. Definitely check out the London jazz scene, most interesting stuff on the planet right now as a collective—Ezra Collective, Moses Boyd, Nubya Garcia are some of the names to check out. Very defined sound, is great. But Christian Scott is on another level.
Gonna do some deep diving. I'll get back to you. Thanks again o7
The London Jazz scene is fulla bops. Adding 'The Comet is Coming' (great background grooving music) and 'Sons of Kemet' as suggestions. The latter has some pretty great anticolonial vibes.
Both awesome additions. Particularly love the latter as well, and I really enjoy that they imply the Queen of England is actually a lizard person in their wonderful album entitled "Your Queen Is a Reptile". Best songs on that one are "My Queen Is Harriet Tubman" and "My Queen Is Angela Davis," of course.
Such a good album! Great example of how mostly instrumental jazz can be actively political. Fuck Adorno; all my homies love jazz and its revolutionary potential.
