Around about the beginning of the 80s, up until the 90s, artists like Prince and Cameo replaced the "horn" section of the earlier funk bands with synthesisers and brought a more guitar oriented sound into the mix. I'm listening to a Prince album called: The Slaughterhouse (a bit obscure, you might have to check it out on the internet somewhere) and it's really, really good. I would definitely recommend you check out some of their albums. In terms of funk, the bands you described relate mainly to the 60-70s (you need to check out Stevie Wonder).

There's a few Norwegian musicians you should try out: Nils Petter Molvær: Really great Jazz musician which have used some dj's to give his music a new dimension. Khmer is probably his best album, but NP3 have more electronica inspired bits. Bugge Wesseltoft: Also a great Jazz musician which uses lots elements from electronica. "The new conception of Jazz" concepts are really great. Try it out on last.fm or something similar. If you like Acid Jazz, you definitely should try to listen to the electronica-jazz mixture.

They are both more traditionally soulful than their second albums, and both excellent. Also Urban Hang Suite by Maxwell, and Black Diamond or Mahogany Soul by Angie Stone are excellent. I'm glad you mentioned Max Roach and Roy Raynes, I've been meaning to listen to more drum-orientated jazz for a long time now.

If you have not listened this album yet, I'd recommend you "My Favorite Things" (I specially love "Summertime" and "Everytime we say goodbye", nice Jazz tunes). Another album very special is "In A Silent Way", by Miles Davis. If you loved "A Love Supreme", then you'll love this one, too. Greetings “A Love Supreme” is one of my favorite Jazz albums!

They have also opened for Earth Wind and Fire.
