04.17.13 | Judging by your description, you need to look into Weather Report's albums from the latter part of the 70's, it's all proggy jazz funk, with very little rock influences to be found. Here's a few examples:
Black Market (their best album in my opinion)
"Herandnu" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCQ89diiq5Q
Another good jazz funk band would be Return To Forever, and judging by your taste, you'd probably like them more- they're closer to prog than jazz. They're bassist Stanley Clarke is a bass god. He's more into technical work than grooving, but believe he can pump out some serious funk. Look into everything from Hymn of the seventh galaxy to No Mystery. They're best album is Romantic Warrior, but it's not really funk, though still worth checking out.
"Flight of the Newborn"

(this video skips for some reason during Al Di's guitar solo, so that's the video not how the actual song goes)

04.17.13 | Interesting opinion. |
JamieTwort
04.17.13 | Crossings is amazing. I've found that quite a lot of people outside of Sputnik think it's Hancock's best. Progarchives for
example. |
ButteryBiscuitBass
04.17.13 | Headhunters or Sextant for me. |
JS19
04.17.13 | They're both incredible too, I just prefer Crossings. Funny you should say that Jamie, I used to frequent progarchives quite a lot... |
