I applaud The Bad Plus & Soweto Kinch mentions, because those are good responses.
they are both too "fusion" for my tastes, but still better than most contemporary jazz out there.
The Frank & Joe Show features some blazing jazz guitar. To a lesser extent, so does Mark Elf. Kurt Rosenwinkel was also aptly mentioned. Usually Larry & Brad play on his albums & it's swingin' straight-ahead stuff with just some hints of fusion.
There really is only one answer to the topic poster's question though. The decidedly non-swingin' but completely exciting
Brad Mehldau Trio.
Elvis Costello and Allen Toussaint have something coming out soon.
Zaar just released some hurdy-gurdy infected jazz rock.
