In the 2010s in jazz, there was a noted resurgence in the popularity of jazz, particularly in the United Kingdom, where new artists rose to prominence such as Sons of Kemet, Shabaka Hutchings, Ezra Collective, and Moses Boyd[1][2][3] Young audiences overall also listened jazz moreso than before, with streaming services reporting a spike amongst people under 30.[4][5][6] Part of this is attributed to the rise of streaming services, and part to fusions with other genres and collaborations between jazz musicians and popular artists in other genres, such as Kamasi Washington's work with Kendrick Lamar[7]
In the 21st century, a number of young musicians emerged, including American drummer Makaya McCraven, saxophonist Kamasi Washington, Norwegian pianists Tord Gustavsen and Helge Lien, guitarist David Aleksander Sjølie, vibraphonist Andreas Mjøs, trumpeters Mathias Eick and Hayden Powell, saxophonists Marius Neset, Frøy Aagre, and Mette Henriette, and bassist Ellen Andrea Wang.
Well-established jazz musicians, such as Wayne Shorter, John Scofield, Jan Garbarek, Pat Metheny, Jon Balke, Brad Mehldau, Olga Konkova, Ulf Wakenius, Christian McBride, Per Mathisen, and Renaud Garcia Fons, continued to perform and record.

^ Best Jazz Albums of the 2010s - Stereogum "His popularity came along with an overall shift toward populism. Musicians in their 20s and 30s like Robert Glasper, Esperanza Spalding (who won the Best New Artist Grammy in 2011, shocking Justin Bieber fans), Christian Scott, Keyon Harrold, Marcus Strickland, and others, who’d never known a world without hip-hop, began making records that reflected their own lives and experiences. They were the products of music schools, whether in New York and Boston or in North Texas, but they were also children of the internet, and they arrived in groups, preferring to work with their peers rather than serve as the young apprentices to elder statesmen. They were joined by a slew of equally young, equally exciting London players intent on bringing the music back to life by incorporating rhythms and hooks from across the Afro-Caribbean diaspora and blending them with the dancefloor sounds and looping structures of London nightclubs, though they could assemble classic post-bop arrangements, too."
