Glorious Improvisation 

I have been looking out for artists who are trying to do new things with Jazz and here's someone who I came across - Django Bates. He's been a creative force in the UK Jazz scene, mixing classical and rock influences with Jazz. The Times has called him "simply prodigious talent" and you can find BBC and The Guardian raving about him on his website, where you'll also find a few songs.

p.s. Zappa Fans might find the guy particularly impressive.
