Youri,
It doesn't get more modern than Dizzy Gillespie, does it? If you're looking for good stuff from the past thirty years, well, a lot of it is going to sound like stuff from the past. Here are some things I like:
Wynton Marsalis: anything you can get your hands on, although you might particularly enjoy the things he did BEFORE 1989. His debut album "Wynton Marsalis" (1983) is sizzlin' and it's even got Miles' old rhythm section (Hancock, Carter and Williams).
Clark Terry: he keeps putting out records, and they continue to be good!
Miles: his stuff in the 70s, 80s, and early 90s is eclectic to say the least. I like On the Corner (70s), Tutu (80s), Aura (80s) and Doo-Bop (early 90s).
Shamar Allen: This might be one not everybody knows. He plays with the Rebirth Brass Band, a New Orleans party band. This guy can seriously blow. I only have one recording of theirs, from before Shamar was in the band, but I would imagine that the newer cd's would be great. I've heard him a few times live and he's just phenomenal.
