I would like to know that too. My band that I'm in right now is a prog funk type bands but we havent recorded anything yet.
If you like any newer experimental bands I would highly recommend Incubus' "S.C.I.E.N.C.E." My favorite CD with the name "funk" incorporated in it (other than John Scofield), very thoughtful, strange, and very experimental.

One likes to believe
In the freedom of music
But glittering prizes
And endless Compromises
Shatter the illusion
Of integrity

I'd recommend Eela Craig - One Niter. Amazing symphonic progressive rock with some quite funky passages. A true masterpiece !!

Primus is a good choice.
I'd go with Sailing the Seas of Cheese for them. 2nd to the Incubus mention.

Deloused by TMV has Flea on bass, I think.
Not massively funky, but considerably more so than most prog.

Faith No More mixed metal / funk with some prog influences. Patton was the singer too.

Yes! I thought Incubus would never get mention here! Wouldn't exactly call them prog...but a hell of a band nonetheless. And hey, they did do a 20 something minute epic (the odyssey) for the halo 2 soundtrack, which is pretty good. But prog funk.....hmm....well, Primus is prog related, and they can be really funky.

In a jazz-related vein:
Miles Davis - On The Corner
Weather Report - Sweetnighter

So much music. So little time.

Some of Frank Zappa's stuff can actually be called funk. 
Some of CAN's stuff is inspired by funk, but don't know if you sould call it funk, really...  George Clinton is a great "funk-grandpa", but it cannot be called prog.

to give an example in my own thread, Mahavishnu's Visions of the Emerald Beyond
although, i guess i am not really looking for the jazz/fusion stuff
Eela Craig was a good suggestion, I was think of picking something up by them, thanks broham

Early Jameroqui has some proggy elements.

The Mars Volta, Primus, Mr.Bungle's debut album, Dixie Dregs, I could go on forever. Most prog bands have a funky riff or two somewhere in their carreers.

Primus and Les Claypool's Frog Brigade.
(why haven't the Frog Brigade been added yet? They're more prog than Primus)
