I have to second Cannonball, anything he did really.  I particularly like Operation Bread Basket, hard to find, but the spirit he projects and that his live audience responded to captures the essence of soul jazz circa 1970.  In a completely different vein, listen to the great Shirley Scott.  Anything she ever did is enough to shake any living being to the depths of their being. 

Yusef Lateef was truly great and suggesting him reminds me to add Ahmed Abdul-Malik to this list.  I also second the nomination of Liz Wright for highest commendations.  This is turning into a damn fine compendium.
