Yeah Digable, ATCQ and Guru are the main suspects for me too. I've been hearing some cool covers of "Cool Like Dat" by different musicians in recent years.

One of the baddest upright Jazz bass loops imo: Eric B & Rakim's Don't Sweat The Technique. They killed it on a number of songs with the blatant use of Jazz between LTRHE and DSWT albums.

Check the catalog of my man Pat Van Dyke from Jersey, he keeps producing good Jazz-influenced Hip Hop with John Robinson from Scienz of Life, Silent Knight and others.

I like how Dilla expanded upon the direction Pete Rock was going with Jazz. I like how he and Common took chances, especially on a song like "I Am Music".

Stress by OK has many of my favorite jazzy tracks. Black Sunday, Keep It Koming, Let's Organize and more.

Speaking of Common I think Dilla's work on LWFC is up there with some of the best.

FF had two brilliant straight up jazz tracks on the Project Blowed comp:

Absolutely. Fudge Pudge too, the way that Jazz piano kicks in at the start I'll never forget. Glad they put out the instrumental version of the Stress album recently.

Mc solaar un ange en danger
De la soul Chanel no. Fever (really a nice little ditty)
Black Star Thieves in the Night
Common Nothing to Do might be my favorite jazzy track of his
Atmosphere God's Bathroom Floor
Aceyalone is all over this. The Guidelines? The March? Human Language?
