how do you improvise over a jazz song?

Wow, great references, Gersdal and Chris. I especially like the first one you submitted, Gersdal. I, personally, have been looking at exercises to know the scales better, and to do a bit with them, and for me, at least, I need things broken down a bit.

Have a jazz theory book, and it's been great for chords, but not really great in integrating scales and arpeggios. It's good to get some different angles.
