[Harp-L] harp and sax on stage - how to share the sandbox?



Fellow harpers,

How do you cooperate with horn players at a jam?

1) take turns with solos (easiest and most obvious)
2) harmonize in thirds on the fly (depends on ears)
3) Call/Response with each other
4) trade fours (round robin)
5) be willing to lay out

I seem to have more success with guitars and keys, than with horns.
Most seem to be on their own path, linear, free-form, and not as much
connected to the tune and groove.
What's different? How can I encourage it on stage?
