For example, maybe like the band 'Jazz Pistols' with vocals (for example)

Not exactly, although this was interesting

i guess im looking for a band very similar to red hot chili peppers that also incorporates jazzy chords and maybe some improvised soloing, etc

I would say that you should look into Phish. They are a jam band so there is a lot of improvisation in their live material (which is their only good material). I'd say a good amount of their music is jazz influenced and their is funk bass in certain songs.
