I would like to have some discussion on the exact process jazz players go through when learning a tune that they plan to improvise a solo with a combo.
In other words, first you learn the tune, how do you work to learn the chord structure? Just the chord structure and melody alone is not enough to create a great improv solo. So then what do you do? What is your disciplined approach to learning a tune and then creating a solo?
What are the specific steps between learning the tune and finally performing it?
I appreciate and enjoy this forum, and thanks in advance for your response.
