Miles Davis: Kind of Blue
Everyone should have that album. It's not new, but I think it is a place to start.
Jazz has been so categorized and can be so many different things, cool jazz and avant-garde jazz are hard bop are kinds of jazz and I like some of all of them.
I guess I would suggest that you try to find the types that you're into before you get into specific groups more. I guess I'm also wondering why you're looking to newer musicians to help you get into jazz, it seems that starting with the "godfathers" of jazz is also a good place to start.
The Marsellis family are all very good modern jazz musicians, listening to any of them is something that I would suggest - I find them tasteful.
