Didn't read the whole thread here, but are there any love for Dannie Richmond? Longtime drummer for Charlie Mingus. Actually I don't have any other acquiantances with him apart from the Mingus times, but man I really loved his style! Acording to Mingus he was the only drummer good enough to play with him (complacency, yes?). Although I guess it's not only skills that is needed for playing with that angry man... But he sure could arrange his music and play that bass(!), I'd give him that.
