Like Herbie Hancock's funk, more please

I think the Brecker Bros. did it up right. They got tons o' stuff. George Duke of the 70's and some 80's funks out.

Try Dexter Wansel. There is a dual cd out that has first four albums on it and it would be representative of this era. Go to one of the www.cd websites to audition the sound clips to make sure though.

I might suggest going to www.dustygroove.com and start browsing around. Probably one of the premier sources for such stuff on the web. Even if they do get a little too enthusiastic in their descriptions at times... Good people to deal with & lightning-fast turnaround on orders.

If you like Herbie Hancock, try some Weather Report and
Return to Forever. Herbie, Joe Zawinul(keyboards-Weather Report) and Chick Corea (keyboards- Return to Forever)played keyboards at some point for Miles Davis. Listen to Miles' In a Silent Way to hear the birth of Fusion/Funk.

Weather report is a good place to start-
Joe Zawinul's solo projects are more groove oriented-check out "my people" or "black water"
the first jazzmataz (sp.?)
Eddie harris and Lee Morgan are two jazz players who had the funk thing going in the 60's- though it is acoustic, as opposed to the herbie stuff you mentioned.
