Herbie Mann is without a doubt one of the most important jazz flutists of the 20th century. I know of him because Duane Allman added some guitar solos to one of his Atlantic albums. Mann was adept at just about all genres: blues, bossa nova, bop, funk, avante garde, even reggae and disco. Memphis Underground is one of his best known pieces and features a blistering guitar solo from Sonny Sharrock.

Willie Lindo played rhythm and lead guitar for just about everyone that entered a studio in Jamaica for 25 years. He only recorded a couple of solo albums that often played off of his success playing with Bob Marley. Reggae Machine is from the mid-70's. It demonstrates that even though guitar is almost always a rhythm instrument in reggae it can be a lead instrument in the right hands.
