Like Herbie Hancock's funk, more please


I've found myself listening to Herbie Hancock's finkier albums (Thrust, Manchild, Headhunter) over and over again lately. Who else was (or is) doing that kind of funky fusion?

I usually mention that none does:
Stanley Clarke from A to Z a hell of a funky guy and he played with Chick Corea(probably Electric Band as I recall...)
Brand-X is "one or two steps up" in terms of sophistication from Herbie.
Material(Bill Laswell) -- Mastermind(1983?)
Material(Bill Laswell) -- Temporary Music(1982?)... getting more sophisticated.
Praxis(Bill Laswell) -- Transmutation(Wierd wierd funkopsych)... tooo sophisticated.

BTW(off the topic) If I were Herbie, I would change the last name -- one vowel doesn't make any difference in pronounsiation. he..he.. :)
