Try listening to The Meters. Really tasty funk with some jazz influences. Good stuff. A real drummer's playground.
Cheers!

Check out Lettuce-one of my all time favorites. Adam Deitch on drums-seriously sick pocket drumming. Also check out The Reign of Kindo-modern jazz/rock, excellent musicianship.

How far back in jazz/funk do you want to go? From the early 80's into the early to mid 90's, the UK and a couple of other places had some great jazz/funk groups.
You should also check these guys out, Mezzoforte, from Iceland. They've been around since the late 70's, in various lineups.....this video's some of their much later stuff....I got to hear of their stuff years ago by some European friends of mine.
"...it's the Paradigm Of The Cosmos!" Stewart Copeland on Youtube
668: The Number Of The Guy Next Door To The Beast.
"A random act of kindness; it keeps my heart in shape!" - Late8
Hadn't heard Mezzoforte. That's good stuff right there. Sort of reminds me of Spyro Gyra.
Thanks for all the great suggestions!

John Scofield, on Groove Elation, great stuff there, For Funk, no better than Kool and the Gang and George Clinton. And Early RHCP if you're into funk, rock/rap.

The line between the real world and the machine world is becoming more and more blurred every day.But its not that humans are turning into automations or becoming slaves to the machines.No, we're simply growing toward each other!
