Gig question
 
Hi all.
I am new to forum. I have a jazz trio that I switch out musicians on. We get a fair bit of work. I don't expect anyone to be my one and only (in this day and age), but I continue over to years to give this bass guitar guy work, and when he gets work he uses others (instead of me) for his gigs. I like this person and don't want to play tit for tat...but doesn't seem right.

Your thoughts?

Improve your playing so that he wants to hire you.

sheppie 07-06-2017 09:05 AM

I get about the same amount of work. But those he hires have a 'name'....

Provide him with a copy of your birth certificate to verify that you, too, have a name.

Dude seems like a dick. I'd move on.

Thanks for that. I kind of feel that way. But didn't want to seem petty.
