Halleluwha,the song from Can on their album Tago Mago.Funky and groovy bass line.

Karthago, by the way, is not in the archives yet; definitely an oversight.
 
There are many bands not in PA that should be.Karthago is one of them.

SAGA have always had a fair bit of funkiness to them – think “humble stance“ etc.

absolutely 80s CRIMSON – and kudos to the mentioning of PARLIAMENT.
george clinton's FUNKADELIC is also highly recommended

if ya wanna get down, wat'cha gon' do
progressive rock and rural tranquility don't match. true or false?

Yes with the Squire/Bruford rhythm section was very funky at times e.g. Roundabout.

Automatic Man who included Michael Shreeve ex Santana and he was also in Stomu Yamash*ta's Go who were also funky prog.

Do 'The Stanley' otherwise I'll thrash you with some rhubarb.

Check out the album VU by a band called Zenith Patrol.  Jazz/Funk fusion band, really good stuff.

Parliament made some progressive albums, a good example would be the Osmium album.

Steve Hillage can be quite funky; just listen to "Unidentified" from his "Green" album.
There is also some funk on Christian Boulé's second solo album "Non-Fiction" in the tracks "Chance", "Magic Fanfare" and "L.I.F.E.".

Mr. Bungle for "funk metal"Wink.

The best funk prog, though, is Herbie Hancock.

Seconded.

I also bought some Jeff Beck (Wired and Blow-by-Blow) off progarchives recommendations that are pretty funky (and good!).
Thank you, God of Rock, for this chance to kick ass

You might want to check out King Crimson when Wetton and Bruford were in the band, especially the live stuff. Not really jazz/funk, but a lot of the live jams lean that way.

Surprisingly, GOBLIN. Check out e.g. the album Suspiria which has quite a bit of jazz-funk, despite being the OST for a horror movie. See my review:
