...try out Stanley Clarke's (Cick Corea bass player) Bassick Collection!
Outstanding recording quality + lots of FUN-K available at the CD clubs and local stores everywhere.

Try Hancock's 'Dis is D drum' Very funky, lots o drum. Okay recording

I bought 6 CD's recently from Mapleshade, and they have
some of the best sound quality of any CD's I've heard.

I have very little knowledge of jazz, but just listened to a CD that I have had for quite some time by Papo Vazquez and other than having great players, it seems to be what you are looking for. The CD is entitled "At the Point V. Two".

Jazz at the Pawnshop is pretty incredible. A must have . A lot of the MFSL Ultradisc gold cds are excellent too especially there samplers.
