Any 1970s Miles Davis, Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock.
Definitely Miles Davis “On the Corner” sessions. Herbie Hancock “Headhunters” (my favorite is Watermelon Man).

Try some fusion stuff like Freddie Hubbard, Medeski, Martin & Wood, or The Bad Plus. A lot of bands like them use organ/rhodes, but put on a Pandora station & you might find some cool stuff. I know I did.
