I love early Kool and the Gang, a much different band than what they turned out to be later. By the way, "Kool Jazz" is actually a compilation of their first four albums. They had several albums in a funk/jazz mode early in their career before they went pop RnB.

Did you know that original trumpeter Michael Ray went on to do his own fusion group?
