This isn't funk, but it's one of my favorite examples of players who've found "the pocket":
The bass player is Carol Kaye and the drummer is the late, great John Guerin. There are so many cool things in this recording including John's backbeats around Carol's straight quarter notes, the clinic Carol puts on in how to use octaves when walking and how unfailingly together they are on every beat.
They have agreed where the one is!!
I still grin EVERY time I hear it.
Bluesy Soul
