For funky fusion jazz, I’d highly recommend: Roy Ayers, Bobby Hutchinson, Freddie Hubbards CTI albums, Eddie Harris, Herbie Hancocks 70s period was amazing too. The Meters, Earth Wind & Fire, Ramsey Lewis, Donald Byrd and the Blackbyrds.

Also Brazil put out amazing funk/fusion jazz artists in the 70s: Marku Ribas, Tim Maia, Marcos Valle, Toni Tornado etc.

That’s all I got for now. But there’s so much more.
