I have two rules that I abide by in a jam session:

1) As one pro said to me in my early days after I nearly wrecked a jam 
session:
Listen, listen, listen.  A lot of amateurs think it's about how well you
play.  It's really about how well you listen.

2) Don't play unless you know you can play something that will make the
entire band sound better. If you don't know how to make the band sound
better, don't play.  If you want to know how to make the band sound better:
listen, listen, listen.

When you try to make yourself sound good above all else, you make enemies.
(I've seen it over and over.)  When you try to make the whole band sound
better, you make friends, and you make yourself a welcome guest.
