I need more Funk

I've had two discs in my SACD lately that I just can't get enough of, Herbie Hancock's Head Hunters & Jeff Beck's Blow by Blow. These two discs never fail. So what other choices are out there? I want to hear incredible musicians playing exciting music on good recordings that don't bore me to death like some jazz I've been exposed to. I need to boogie so give me some suggestions.

Need more funk? How about Parliament/Funkadelic?

If you are looking for funky jazz, give Ornette Coleman and Prime Time a try.

The motherlode, however, is the four CD box set entitled The Funk Box. It is absolutely great.

I can't speak for the recording quality, but any Jeff Beck from that period--Wired, Live with Jan Hammer--should do it. Also, I don't know if this would qualify as 'funk' or 'funky jazz', but John Scofield 'Uberjam' is pretty funky, and is a very good recording for redbook, especially percussion, and has some whopping bass.
