Greetings

So what was the answer I have seen Ernest Ranglin 75, Sonny Bradshaw 81(did he play ska or jazz and blues?), and Lloyd Brevette 76

Any more?

Sonny Bradshaw play Jazz/Ska to Reggae.
Check out the albums like Reggae version/Jamaican Roots/on tour with Reggay etc.
Great musians like Joe Harriott/Rolando Alphonso/Rico/D Drummond/T McCook/Jo Jo Bennett/Carlos Malcolm /Dean Frasser/Willie Lindo/Calvin Cameron play in his band to name a few.

Turning 73 next 17 October, Rico Rodriguez isn't the oldest living Reggae musician, but I ran across an album from 2006 on which he's just amazing, so I thought it worth mentioning:

Japa-Rico
Rico Rodriguez Meets Japan

He's backed-up by various Reggae and Ska bands from Japan. I liked every track, but the 'binghi version of Danny Boy at the end is killer!
Peace,

James
