Well, Han Bennink came to my mind first as well...
Paul Lovens is incredible. You should check out "Regalia" together with Cecil Taylor. Just mindblowing drum/percussion work.
Chris Cutler might be my favourite drummer, but he is no jazz drummer. But on the other hand Henry Cow's first album was at least partially JazzRock, so naming him is somewhat justified.
Joey Baron is also wonderful, although he does a lot of rock and other stuff as well.
Here's a solo performance:
I also really like Chris Corsano. Incredibly talented guy.
