Great topic! Will have to check out some of these recommendations.

I've had that record for years! It's definitely my favorite Fishbone outing (Unyielding Conditioning is my all time favorite Fishbone tune), but Truth and Soul is a close second.
I've been digging these recently:
Ahmad Jamal 'Blue Moon'- Herlin Riley on drums, great compositions
Tatum Hampton Rich- Some of my favorite Buddy stuff, a classic
Here Come the Mummies 'Undead Live'- Great band, hilarious double entendre lyrics, these guys are like my gym soundtrack
Kermit Driscoll 'Reveille'- It's been discussed in another topic here recently, genius Vinnie stuff imo
Brecker Brothers 'Some Skunk Funk'- Recent post of Weckl w/ the Brecker Brothers sent me out to buy this one with Erksine/Will Lee. Can't believe I didn't have it before.
'Dap Dippin with Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings'- So hip. Love this band. Not a drumming tour de force but definitely great music.
