Keeping it real by mixing it up with Younger Musicians

Miles did
Chick does it

​Hiring younger musicians to keep it real. I'm not hiring anymore, but getting out there and jamming with younger musicians is fun. A couple of tips, some of which I've learned the hard way:

1. Keep your mouth shut. Nobody cares what you've done in the past including who you've worked with, no matter how famous.
2. Let them call the tunes.
   
3. Keep your solos brief.
   
4. Be a gentleman around women at the jam. Old attitudes have no place in the modern world. 
   
5. Don't drink, thus reducing back sliding on tips 1 to 4
   

Cheers,
