What makes a bandleader?

[AllanAllen]

Let's hear your tales, good and bad, from the bandstand about bandleaders.

To do and to don't.

The primary thing for a bandleader is fostering positive attitudes among the musicians and never criticizing someone before a performance. Bandleaders that pay their musicians in advance as they arrive for the gig understand this (and it naturally suppresses dusting things up before down beat).

Paid before the gig! Are they paying out of pocket? I've only been paid by the venue after the gig.

Blimey. I’ve been going about this all wrong.
