Latin /= jazz though. Sounds like OP is digging a modal jazz sound. In terms of contemporary stuff, The Bad Plus are definitely worth checking out. Their track "And Here We Test Our Powers Of Observation" is tremendous. Also check out Polar Bear (an offshoot of Acoustic Ladyland).
I would suggest Unity by Larry Young as one of the definitive Hammond / electric organ jazz records.
Then a load of Coltrane - A Love Supreme, Crescent, and Impressions. Ascension if you're feeling adventurous.
Then also McCoy Tyner (Coltrane's pianist for many years), Keith Jarrett, and Ahmed Jahmal.
Finally, Chris Bowden's album Time Capsule is also a favourite of mine.
Hope something there takes your fancy.

I never quite understand so many peoples hatred of Jazz? Yeah it has it's share of pretentious crap but what musical genre doesn't? Jazz is inherently American and if you didn't grow up listening to it I think people just hear it as musical twiddling. The masses that listen to radio fodder have a a real struggle getting their heads around anything thats not 4/4 time. It's a shame really, I've tried on many occasions to get friends to sit back and just listen to stuff like Pharoah Sanders - Karma. It's f'ing beautiful, there's definitely some noisy free form bits I can see people not digging, but they weren't having it in any way. To each their own I know, I just hate it when some one says they dont like something purely out of never even trying. On that note..........

Jazz is inherently American [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHZyxpOAx-Q"][/URL
]...not strictly true...saw a great documentary that explored the Jewish klezmer/European "circus" music influence on the formation of jazz thanks to the influx of East European immigrants to the States....but i get your point

Check out The Will Collier Septet, young London septet on the F-ire label, same as Polar Bear:

Why is Pat Metheny so irritating?

Jazz is cool and when it's not, it's hot.
