There's plenty of congas in modern jazz nowadays. Congas in modern jazz often have a very different role than the older styles. Much more improvisational, nothing like salsa or son. That old school stuff is cool, but it is also old.
Try this
Jaco Pastorius and Don Alias.

I think it silly to say you have to play tumbao to play a conga. Guitars don't have a rule like that, drum kits don't have a rule like that, piano doesn't have a rule that. Rules like that are restrictive and limiting.
