Roy Richards and Charlie Organaire are the two most common Jamaican harmonica players.

First blues player I heard expressing a deep interest in using diatonic in reggae music was Paul Messinger way back in the 90's. I was pleasantly surprised to hear him actually do it quite nicely in his recording projects "America" and "Climbing Jacob's Ladder".

Actually, the "America" project is quite stunning on many levels - not just the harmonica playing, but the songwriting, production and execution as well!
