    or maybe not!

    Who knows haha
    Yeah that whole gang in various constellations are worth a listen. Speaking of which, not a Bowie fan in general (I was listening to Kraftwerk when Let’s Dance came out) but that Blackstar album is something else... listened through it just now, lots of interesting stuff going on.

    bowie was unique and morphed himself into different characters during his career.

    just a note: Lets Dance,,Stevie Ray Vaughn on guitar (and several other cuts "china doll" IIRC

    Blackstar: Ben Monder on guitar

    I know Coltrane could fit on that description, but... someone elese ? Also already heard everything of Mingus.

    Preferly minor tunnings. Dark tunnings.

    Not something like Miles Davis, and no effects (at least in the 70s 80s fashion ). Something with a classic resemble , but with more modern melodies, and not standard tunnings. Not Metheny.

    Also not "avant garde", or "free jazz", and full of disonances.

    I know this is such an abstract and wide question, but let see if someone catchs my vibe.

    As example of something I dont want is the tune Duck soup in the Oh by they way album.


    this is a common question.."what is jazz ?"

    take it away from record/music industry marketing departments and the definition is in constant flux .. changing every aspect on a constant basis..

    my take on what may fit your request:

    Ben Monder
    Herbie Hancock..Maiden voyage/Dolphin Dance
    Gary Burton with Larry Coryell
    Layfette Gilchrist..keyboard experiments?
    Carla Bley-compositions ..with Steve Swallow
    Miles Davis....because he has changed the definition of jazz.more than once...with Bill Evans..Kind of Blue..flamenco sketches..
    Mike Bloomfield/Paul Butterfield (East/West)
    Chick Corea..Spain..progressive Flemenco? Jazz fusion..?
    John Scofield
    John McLaughlin

    and hundreds (thousands) more..with or without public/media exposure.. that could be considered "experimental"

    I think on the above list these musicians took many chances (experiments) in their work..many of which were a breakaway from the term "jazz"

    a paradox..perhaps...But..if the 1920's New Orleans sound was/is jazz..Can Bitches Brew also be jazz..if so..all definitions of jazz are void..that is..useless..
    perhaps a new "label" needs to be used..but then..it would be just as inaccurate as the current term

    much like asking---what is "baseball" and having "rollerball" or better yet.."professional wrestling" included in the definition.

    Lots of great advice (I dig the nose flute) but to get bachk to the OP who hopefully hasnöt yet lost faith in mankind:


    If vintage Blakey isn’t experimental enough, listen to his 80‘s bands, might just fit the bill. Or Sonny Rollins. Scofield’s recordings from the 80s and 90s. That stuff is called „modern mainstream“ and there is more than enough out there. I‘m just listing some masters.

    Sounds like jazz, though.

    "Mongolian nose flute music". Did not go unnoticed. Pure frickin' genius.

    Anthony Braxton? Some really interesting stuff to be had there. Just my opinion.
