Here's one story.
A trio I was playing in scored a regular gig at an up market Italian restaurant. We decided to add a sax player to the lineup. The sax player spent most of the night chatting up the customers and, near the end of the gig, disappeared upstairs with the management. When we turned up for the gig a week later, the sax player had already set up his own duo and was doing the gig.
No one actually said,
"You're fired."
but we got the message and went home without a fuss.
Ah, Italian food is overrated! It's just stuff mixed with tomato and garlic.
Musicians can be so devious, can't they?
