Not hugely knowledgeable on this area, but some artists to check...

Cinematic Orchestra
Skalpel
Jazzanova
Kyoto Jazz Massive
Forss

The Sonar Kollektiv label was putting a lot of great stuff out a couple of years ago, but I've lost touch with their recent releases

Cinematic, Jazzanova & Skalpel are more like Downbeat Jazz...like instrumental hiphop, slowed down with jazz samples, ie NinjaTune etc...the suggestions i gave were actual jazz orchestras with a futuristic vibe about them, mostly japanese...let me know what you are looking for & i can suggest many more either way...~jazzAdikt

Eivind Aarset - Plays the upright bass over sexy beats. Check out Dust kittens on his Light Extracts album. it's actually my favorite song of all time

St.Germain - You've probably heard Sure Thing somewhere before
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_0_7?u ... ix=St+germ

Jens Buchert - All synth all day. has HUNDREDS of tunes on sale. I say start with his Cafe De la Mer or Cafe Lagoon albums
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss?url=s ... ns+buchert

I'd post youtube links but i'm at work

The kilimanjaro dark jazz ensemble?
Most of the jazzy stuff I listen to is fromNinja Tune, and it's all essentially hip-hop with trumpets.

Listen to some real jazz. Check out Polar Bear and Get The Blessing. Shit, those lads can play.

Slow breakbeats overlaid with trumpet samples isn't even music. It's just background music for adverts. It bears the same relation to real jazz that a lukewarm cup of tea does to an orgy.

Jazzanova, The Cinematic Orchestra, Jaga Jazzist and various others rely on full bands fused with DJs. It's not always just 2 men with a bucket of samples.

Your superiority has been displayed and noted. Congratulations

Yeah, I know. I'm not bothered about whether they have live musicians or not (if that bothered me I wouldn't listen to dubstep, jungle, techno etc). In fact I can imagine jazz being done entirely on laptops if it was done right. I don't find any of those bands exciting apart from Cinematic Orchestra who are pretty good. Jazzanova are really bland.

Tronn - Sorry for expressing an opinion. Didn't hurt anyone did I?

You're right no one was hurt, though I'll admit I felt a little dissed. I feel very strongly about my lukewarm orgy tea, and I feel the idea that it's not really music because of reasons not explained is ridiculous.

Watever though, everyone's entitled to their opinion, I'm over it. Though an IMO is always helpful

Fair enough. "not really music" wasn't meant to be taken literally. I got a bit carried away. Soz. Can we settle for "I don't like it?"

Tacospheros - The Bad Plus are a great band and funny with it. They covered The Pixies as well.

Prince Blimey is a great album. They went a bit straighter on some of the later records. Some of Acoustic Ladyland's music reminds me of them.
