    I normally don’t 🙂 It’s because I play either jazz gigs that are very late or being a side musician, or private events. Some of my more advanced students live in USA though. So I can’t invite them. I do have one older British student who said he is very interested in attending one of the gigs, so may invite him if i have something public that isn’t super late hours. But i wouldn’t invite someone who is clearly into rock or pop to a jazz gig. 🙂 My teaching “persona” seem to be sort a different one than a gigging musician persona ( even my name) 🙂 I more often than not teach different type of music to my students than the sort I would listen to. As I adapt to students taste.
