Hmm.. off the top of my head, I’d say check out Mr Bungle’s album California.

Primus for sure. Some Progressive Metal bands include strong Jazz elements as well.

They don’t use those labels, and I think R&B metal probably doesn’t have any representation at all. But jazz elements are often used in metal. Bands who use it as a regular/core part of their sound and writing approach will usually be labelled (or identify as) something like “progressive metal” or “experimental metal”. Something along those lines

Edit; I just searched “jazz metal” on Spotify and got a few playlists in the results

SUMAC is pretty good. The Mars Volta is all that and more.

Try Bozzio Levin Stevens (jazzy progressive metal) or Alex Skolnick Trio (guitarist from Testament playing jazz covers of hard rock/metal songs)

Are you talking about 90’s prog metal? Like Steve Vai or Dream Theater?

Sabbath always sounded like jazz to me. Especially the rhythm section.

Late-period Black Flag became jazz metal as Greg Ginn got more into weed and Henry Rollins' lyrics got weirder.

Mate. Feed. Kill. Repeat by Slipknot is pretty jazzy on the song Do Nothing/Bitchslap

Clown core is some kind of jazz fusion metal that's excellent if you like weird stuff as much as you sound like you do. It is a side project of two really talented musicians so there is a ton of technical proficiency while being very experimental at the same time.

The Dharmata EP by Defeated Sanity is ridiculously jazzy

Trepalium for sure. Sick Boogie Murder is a good song by them as well as the Voodoo Moonshine EP. The From the Ground album has less aggressive vocals if that's not your thing.
