Part of the fun of jazz, for me, is the hunt. I have, for the most part, gone it alone looking for jazz I like. I suggest going onto Last.FM and listening to as much jazz as possible that is connected to those two artists. I highly suggest Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, and Bill Evans and jumping off points.
Anyway, this is what I'm listening to. Contemporary Noise Quintet. It's jazz, and it's new, but I have no idea what particular subgenre you'd place it under. Not nu jazz. And despite the name, not noise jazz or anything like that. It doesn't really matter, it's awesome. Halfway through it turns into free jazzy craziness.
