Space Is The Place

Not strictly "orchestral"... more Arkestral

Oh, I forgot one of my all-time fusion favourites: Santana's Caravanserai (esp track 2, Waves Within):

If you truly want to get into it, lots of Jazz performers of the 20th century made interesting and significant contributions despite at times being known more for their work with smaller groups. For example, before he really made his mark with Miles Davis, Cannonball Adderley had already established himself as one of the great alto saxophonists in Jazz, and during the mid 50s he teamed up with Quincy Jones and Ernie Wilkins to record a couple of albums with larger ensembles.

The predictable influences of Duke Ellington/Billy Strayhorn, and Charlie Parker et al are to be found throughout, but there are also arrangements which belong more to that younger generation of Charles Mingus, Quincy Jones, etc.

These representative tracks are from In the Land of Hi-Fi with Julian Cannonball Adderley, arranged by Ernie Wilkins.

Ernest Brooks Wilkins Jr. (July 20, 1922 – June 5, 1999) was an American jazz saxophonist, conductor and arranger who spent several years with Count Basie. He also wrote for Tommy Dorsey, Harry James, and Dizzy Gillespie. He was musical director for albums by Cannonball Adderley, Dinah Washington, Oscar Peterson, and Buddy Rich.

Once again, there's really a lot of great recorded stuff, a good deal of it perhaps needing to be rediscovered.

Duke Ellington is one of the kings of this style.

Swing is not 'modern jazz', no. Swing was biggest perhaps during WWII, in the states.

THIS is modern jazz:
