for jazz+electronica... Amon Tobin definitely has the spirit of jazz in electronic form... i think his first album, Bricolage probably does j+e best.
also try...
Tortoise - Millions Now Living Will Never Die
where tobin is electronic co-opting jazz, tortoise is jazz co-opting electronic.
also, ken vandermark, noted above, is fantastic new jazz... but definitely not starter stuff. Medeski, Martin and Wood, while a little "hipper-than-thou" and adopted by jam-rock neu-hippies, is certainly an accessible starting point for jazz cum electronic. try the album Combustication... DJ Logic plays on it.
