Well, I can! Courtney is one of my great heroes. He came into jazz after playing in reggae and pop groups as a young man. Courtney Pine's interest in jazz was fostered when he participated in workshops run by John Stevens and although he is now known mainly as an outstanding jazz reedsman, he still plays reggae, soul and pop gigs. Listen to his Closer To Home album and try and convince me that parts of it are not the most sublime dance music. It was not all that long ago that he played a "home town" gig at the Brixton Astoria and there were not all that many people in their seats that night.....

So, I reckon that apart from Carthy, Gillian Welch and Courtney Pine, his list of non-danceable acts may be accurate.
