Jazz trumpeter / Summit Recording artist & Conn-Selmer artist Ken Watters has written & published (online) a website entitled Jazz Musicians' Protocol" (see link below). The site can apply to musicians of all genres, but is more conciously geared toward aspiring jazz musicians.
The site began in 2000) as a short webpage and was born of sheer frustration with the way that gigs and jam sessions that he found himslef taking part in were routinely run. It has developed much further with time, but the basic points are the same.
Keep in mind, these suggestions are one musician's opinion -- feel more than free to contact him with any comments, suggestions, or all-out disagreements with many of the ideas presented.
