Sax...Ornette Coleman and Charlie Parker
Clarinet....Benny Goodman and Jimmy Hamilton
Flute......Ian Anderson and Ron Burgandy
I put Parker before Coltrane, but that's just me.

Maceo Parker is the king of funky sax. Played with James Brown. Then moved on to George Clintons Parliament/Funkadelic. Then became Prince's sax man.
I saw him play with Fred Wesley (trombone) in some funky combo back in the 90's and they absolutely burned the place down. One of the best live shows I have ever seen.
