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.

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