10.Sam Dunn

A truly engaging, insightful, lovely man and oh my god, what a font of knowledge about jazz. I mean, what do you do when you're part of a big band and you've forgotten your guitar and you're sitting in front of about a 2000 person strong audience? If you've ever passed out at work, well you're not alone. Also, the youth of today are getting an inspirational, down to earth, passionate and grounded guide on their journey. Like he said, the music is the journey.
