Ouppps !!!
I see the message only now... Sorry to answer so late.

There is a huuuuuuuge amount of Great harmonica players,not playing only Blues...
I like the Blues, but also all kind of music ! But I am not a Great player :D ...

Serious...now...
For about ten years now I try to share lots of links a bit like my friend Shaun Monument-May who made this blog two years again, and proposed an impressive list in only one year !!! You can find many exemple (while the long cold nights of the coming Automn then Winter ;) )...

So many good players in Asia ;) : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8u-6LzNtkpQ

So many Great players, but some of them not known, because talent and communication are two differents things.
It is hard to list people, because you always forget so many in different areas of music...

PS: I am sure also that the more different style you listen, the more influences you have and the more you have words to tell a story, that was not listen before...
