I have been into "Jazzy" music all my life. It started in the 70s with Jazz-Funk and Fusion. Jazz-Funk then morphed into Smooth Jazz which I followed for some years, but there was nothing really interesting about it and it didn't really move on and was derided by most as "elevator music".
Having a free Spotify account when it first started allowed me to spend hours trawling for something new. It is only recently that I realised that the stuff that I liked was dubbed Jazztronica, stuff like Nils Petter Molvaer, Buge Wesseltoft, Lars Dannilsson, Wolfgang Haffner and others. Not sure what Genre Hadouk Trio and Boozoo Bajou are but I like their stuff. I also found some of the stuff from Trilok Gurtu, Nitin Sawnhey listenable.
I was also into Reggae and Dub in the 70's, but again felt that they had a machine that they simply programmed to churn out the same sort of stuff which just became tedious. I like some of Bill Laswell's stuff and International Observer (founded by one of the original Thompson Twins!)
