I can tell you the three albums that I listen to most, all are at least Miles adjacent or following a similar sound. Admittedly there are much more learned bluesky jazz people than me, almost certainly with better recommendations!

I got in on the act, too, though I'm not a jazz musician. (Jazz fan, absolutely...)
I strummed and sang harmonies on a few Linda Ronstadt numbers with Brenda Ford and the Geoff Eales trio, and I also did a handful of my own. Including "Paul", perhaps my most jazz-adjacent. Thx to Roland for footage.

The kids seem to be liking jazz and jazz-adjacent music. Between Laufey and Olivia Dean - there are probably others - the kids are alright.

Univers Zéro - Live At The Triton, 2009 (Sub Rosa, 2025)
CD/DVD set documenting a performance by these chamber-prog pioneers at the famed French jazz-and-adjacent venue. Just playing the CD today, because, after all, it is #CDFriday.

First, bop and book musicals in their own ways signalled that formerly adjacent and seemingly harmonious ends were starting to pull away from each other, from either reasserting a folk-ish foundation of jazz or emphasizing the 'dramatic' in dramatized music.

As someone who got into what was being labeled as "new age" in the 80s, when it was mostly jazz or folk adjacent, seeing that particular aspect of the genre take over to the point where people forgot it had ever been something else was really weird!
Another element of 1990s nostalgia that often gets ignored is how the USA was gaga for Celtic and New Age music. Remember those CD kiosks in the big box stores?

He was a multilingual man from the south, who fled to Europe to escape racism. He played jazz, flew fighter planes in WW1 and WW2. He was also a nightclub manager (casino adjacent lol)... he was even a girl dad lol.

My husband worked adjacent to a specialty grocer that has every apple (including silly inch-wide ones my kids love to bring to school), and for a year he was trying every variety available. Settled on Jazz and still eats one Jazz apple per day.

New Jack Swing was also a huge thing in classic Sonic, so I suppose that might be another slightly jazz-adjacent connection?!

Fleeting Future was a miraculous album
While that album was a stripped down, taught, gamelan-adjacent future classic of electro-acoustic jazz, Akusmi's follow-up, “Terra Incognito,” ranges farther and wider, with even more eclectic influences
