I've been digging Atheist a lot. It's both the mix of jazzy riffs and technically played.

Can anyone recommend me some more stuff like them?
 
man i love this genre...jazzy tech metal...i can reccomend some shit

cynic
spastic ink*
blotted science*
continiou renacer*
copofrago
canvas solaris*-pretty tech and has a little jazz influience
sleep terror*
ephel duath

* indicated instrumental band

thats all i can think of right now...hope that helps
 
Pestilence
Alarum (kinda unknown but they are a lot like cynic/Atheist)
Nocturnus
Augury
Lykathea Aflame (A bit brutal though)
Blotted Science (instrumental)
Aghora

Not all might sound jazzy(technical for sure) but it's all good stuff.

EDIT: And ya, Both Cynic and Atheist are coming up with new material as well :D I cant wait!
 
The thing about Unquestionable Presence is that there's nothing really like it. It's some sort of bizarre fluke that shouldn't really have worked but somehow did. No other tech-death comes close to sounding like that album imo.
 
Gory Blister - Skymorphosis

ok, no jazz, but an awesome prog/death album.

Oh yeah!

Come Void - Stormking Twilight

totally obscure album with terrible production, but a great album that has much about it that is reminiscent of Atheist.
