Harpo Marx (yes, that Harpo) could play some jazz, but I'm not sure he could
solo.

Elvin Jones and Roy Haynes certainly have virtuoso cymbal technique.

: harpist?
Saw a guy in Omaha once that knocked me out. Can't remember his name.
: cymbalist?
Tony Williams' cymbal sound is my favorite.
Can't help you on the bassoon.

Most of today's jazz tuba is being played in traditional (revival)
jazz groups. There are many adequate players, but for technique, solo
skills, and the wherewithal to swing a band, I would call your
attention to Mike Walbridge of the Original Salty Dogs - someone who
has distinguished himself for many years in this small but treasured
niche.

Tuba = henry threadgill.
you would do well to check out his album "Too Much Sugar For A Dime"
Harp = Alice Coltrane
she's john coltranes widow and an amazing player i her own right.
Check out the Santana/Coltrane remix album "Divine Light" by Bill
Laswell for a taste.
Bassoon = the name escapes me right now but the guy touring with
bassist Jonas Hellborg
cymbalist = well percussionist of all flavors would be cyro baptista

Yes, you would, although you'd find Henry playing sax, as
usual, with Marcus Rojas and Edwin Rodriguez holding down
the tuba section.

crowded field for about 10 or 15 years there; many would say Bob
Ysaguirre was even better than St. Clair or at least more virtuosic.
The best jazz harpist I've heard is Adele Girard, who took solos in
modern jazz style.
One of the jazz percussionists whose cymbal work I like best would be
Dave Tough.

Hmmmm... now *that's* a tough one. Most drummers play cymbals as part of the
kit, but there are few stand alone cymbal players, as you would see in a
classical orchestra. I guess I would give it to Eddie Prevost who introduced
the joys of bowed cymbal into free music.

We have a winner! Hmmm... cymbalist is tough. Everything else I agree with
100%. Borca on the Lyons stuff is great (box set). Alice is it, and I would
have to go with Howard Johnson although my heart is probably with Philip
Frazier of Rebirth Brass Band. Cymbalist? Hmmm... Top of my head, it's a
tie between Tony Williams and Elvin Jones. I have heard both do amazing
things.

Ralph Escudero on most, Billy Taylor on some.
Escudero was from Puerto Rico and Bob Ysaguirre was from Honduras.

Don't forget Rufus Harley, jazz's (alleged) only bagpiper. You haven't lived
until you've heard him play "Jesus Loves Me" over a samba beat.
