When visiting other peopleвЂ™s sessions you canвЂ™t expect that session to conform to your preconceptions. Q: 'What do you call it when the leading musicians sit at the table, really donвЂ™t engage with the others who came along, donвЂ™t ask introductions, offer a chance to lead, ask for any requests, make any attempt to integrate any unknown people who have dropped in, and carry on playing their own repertoire without taking the trouble to find any common tunes with the other potential musicians ?' Re: When is a session not a session ? вЂ¦ongoing discussionвЂ¦. ( Names have been withheld to protect the innocent ). Is it still a session, or is it just a show ? Is the idea in these cases to provide a larger audience for the вЂperformersвЂ™, or is it intended to bring more musicians into the community ? What do you call it when the leading musicians sit at the table, really donвЂ™t engage with the others who came along, donвЂ™t ask introductions, offer a chance to lead, ask for any requests, make any attempt to integrate any unknown people who have dropped in, and carry on playing their own repertoire without taking the trouble to find any common tunes with the other potential musicians ? I bring this up after a recent visit elsewhere, advertised, promoted, named musicians, etc. Previous discussions, regarding things like 'What is the difference between a session and a performance ?' obviously provoked strong feelings and might not yet be resolved satisfactorily, so I might be treading on eggshells, but whateverвЂ¦вЂ¦.
