      I used to go see Phil DeGreg (jazz pianist) perform on a regular basis, and one of his strongest pieces of advice was that a jazz “pro” is able to deliver passable solos (at minimum) no matter how uninspired they might be feeling. If they’re feeling good and can rise to “great”, or even “amazing”, that’s the ideal, but even if they’re tired and hung over, they need to enter that trance state and play well enough to fool the non-jazzers in the audience.

    Too few amateurs know about this and how it gives you confidence and skill to know what you're about to play before you play it. Invaluable in soloing and even in composing.

      If you like that you should listen to Chet Baker. A master of extracting all the harmony with few notes. He doesn´t even just scales. Scales are just a tool. If you only play scales you will sound repetitive. Try to study Baker and think on intervals instead of a whole scale. Just a tip, not trying to be a jerk.
