Hi,

I'm not sure that many of these did just jazz, but I tend to think their experience and quality of work had a lot of free form touches that bordered on the jazz side of things.

Jazz minded (or at least experimental):

Mick Karn
Percy Jones (Brand X)
Del Palmer (Kate Bush)
Pekka Pohjola
Richard Sinclair (Canterbury)
Hugh Hopper (Canterbury)

Rock band, but players with special touches:

Lothar Meid (Amon Duul 2)
Mike Howlett (Gong)
Nick Beggs
Les Claypool
Dave Pegg (Fairport Convention, Richard Thompson)
Phil Lesh (GD)
Don Schiff (Rocket Scientists)
