-Pino Palladino (specially with John Mayer and D'Angelo),
-Charlie Haden,
-Aston "Family Man" Barrett;
-I think Marcus Miller, even though he can rip, always has a nice, relaxed way of phrasing and timing that is always soulful;
-Gary Willis, although he plays fusion, his playing can feel relaxed, and he plays very relaxed with minimum movement;
-Jimmy Garrison (Coltrane),
-Chuck Rainey. . .

I don't know about Anthony Jackson, both physically and in sound. Physically, he's very tense, making all these face expressions, and he plays with high action (and a 6-string) so his hands are getting a workout. Isaw him playing once ay Bar 55 in Manhattan, and I was 2 inches away from him. The guy did not look relaxed nor he played relaxed, actually contributing quite a bit to the intensity of the band.

And in sound, he can be pretty intense, although his lines a so brilliantly placed that it never feels like overplaying, but I wouldn't call his playing relaxed.

I dont know who the player is that did Joss Stone " Soul Sessions", but its it a very relaxed, very deep groove, minimalist style. BRILLIANT! ( assume he's a Brit!).

Oh Yeah, ( DOH )

BOOTSY

he plays a real, "lazy" or "holy" bass in some tunes. Very relaxed groove. Maybe the best. Like in Pfunk, or, while not "relaxed", his loose groove in " Munchies for Your Love", is the best!

Pick up the CD "Falling Forward" by Willy Porter and listen to Bryan Mir's bass playing. He constantly hangs behind but yet propels every song forward.

Every jam band ever.

But odds are it's because their bassist is stoned.

But then again, a lot of jam bands suck... so instead check out the bands listed above.
