top one : cedric im brooks
rico
count ossie
wya lindo
bagga walker
chinna
santa
carlton barrett
lynn tait
dirty harry
norman grant on drums, original style
skully

they all got their own style, I love all the 70's players of instruments. But if I have to choose between big ones I'd say cedric brooks more than tommy mckook, carlton barrett more than dunbar, rico more than don drummond.

Lennie Hibbert has a couple of very good instrumental l.p's.
Sugar Belly playing a home-made bamboo sax among other things is right up there too...
