Guys four pages and no King Curtis?!?!?!
How about Fathead Newman?
I developed a lot of respect for David Sanborn learning how he cut his teeth to the level enough to play with several blues greats. Not sure I can respect a jazzer who can't also stick a 2 or 3 hour blues gig.
I also like Pharoah Sanders on Sonny Sharrock's "Ask the Ages", Charlie Parker with Dizzy, Sonny Stitt with Sal Salvador, Sonny Rollins, Lester Young and a bunch of others, many who have already been mentioned.

Nothing against Curtis and Newman, both fine players but if you ask people on a jazz forum they don't typically spring to mind like the others you listed.

quick story about Ammons, a tenor sax player who was a bandleader of mine worked w/him w Gene playing baritone.
he said Gene stood in front of the music stand facing him and transposed the chart from Bb to Eb while reading it upside down
