ToP Oakland Zone, Strokeland Superband - anything. Santa Fe Fat City Horns (a bit schmultzy for my taste), Phat Phuncktion (great modern stuff - good bass player). Zuchero Fornaciari - The Blues (awesome stuff from the land of great food). For zany - try Dirty Dozen Brass Band (less polished but awesome for simple raw realism and dynamics and less studio engineering polish).
