I think the better players are those who listen. Isn't listening the 
most important technique of ensemble playing? Then there's respect for 
the people you are playing with - not stepping on others. And there is 
respect for tension and space - where everyone understands that not 
every hole has to be filled. But I guess it all comes down to listening. 
If you can do that, you will know when and what to play.
