Perhaps give the 90’s Acid Jazz scene a visit too, many a great groove!

James Taylor Quartet , Corduroy, Mother Earth , Emperors New Clothes etc

 

Thank you, I haven’t heard of Emperor’s New Clothes, will give them a try. Cheers.

Loads of top end bands already mentioned, funk and if you want to broaden it out to modern "Fonk" then its such a broad  genre  it just depends where you want to go, Nils landgren already listed i have everything he has recorded but check out his later bass player magnum coltrain price's stuff as well, here he is explaining the difference between funk and fonk, 

depends where you want to go, ...let me explain that, ...once you have exhausted all the main old funk bands you will find you ear and taste will channel you one way or the other, for example i now find when im writing for my funk band im putting in more Latin funk, this is finding its way in via fantastic bands i really like, like  New cool collective,  but you can now stick funk with anything,  rock funk, smooth funk,  funky grooves, rap funk, funk jazz, old school funk, funkysoul, is disco funky ? yea , all practically built on funk, the list is endless..

there are some great bass players on here all helping pushing the boundaries of funk all the time and some like gaz going right back the other way to its raw roots with the soundstylistics stuff https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGEVm_DRiCE.

Another guy on here Alix,   i went to see haggis horns but the band that was on before them Alix's band hot diamond aces were really good doing their own thing,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STcnel5eNag.

  if modern funk is your thing then check out some of the great bands on Freestyle records, https://freestylerecords.co.uk/ ....and jalapeno,  http://jalapenorecords.com/

 

Great grooves to play on bass to get your chops up   then check out down to the bone, nice stuff to play along to and will help you get grooves down.

sorry to waffle on, hope it helps.
