Zep:

D'yer Mak'er

Fool in the Rain (already posted, but DAMN worthy)

Whole Lotta Love (improv during spacey jam)

Ramble On

Hey Hey What Can I Do

Rock & Roll

Trampled Under Foot (my fav)

 

too many more to list

 

Funk:

Medeski, Martin, & Wood

Galactic

Groove Collective

Robert Randolph & the Family Band

Sly & the Family Stone

Grand Funk Railroad

AND, of course the Godfather...

 

James Brown (note that most licks on the hats are on the TOP of the hats, not across the closed plates like we normally play. Calls for a real "crisp" sound all the way through, and is surprisingly difficult to maintain.)

Jazz funk in its infancy:

The CD - Country Roads & Other Places by the Gary Burton Quartet - is a little difficult to get hold of, but there's some nice soul/funk grooves on it.

 

As for more general Jazz-Funk, check out 70s Miles Davis.

 

As mentioned, Medeski, Martin and Wood are the biz...
