Nice, Charlie Jack. But I don’t know how that Steely Dan tune is funk. Here’s a cover of some funk from a band not normally associated with this style of music.

I said it before and I’ll say it again, this is the best musicianship you’ll find in this genre. Maceo Parker (along with Pee Wee Ellis, Tenor Sax; Fred Wesley, Trombone and others) covers this Jaco Pastorius tune:

Maybe not technically funk, but the groove (in funk style) is definitely maintained throughout this fusion tune. This is what happens when a percussionist leads a band- precision and groove (you can have both).
