Oh, looks great!

Are you an "educated" jazz player? What instrument do you play?

I'm a pro musician, but I don't get a lot of jazz gigs. I'm in Memphis now, but i used to work in San Francisco. In the mid-90s, the acid jazz fad in SF meant there were lots of easy gigs for jazz musicians. 
There are very few clubs for jazz in Memphis. I also like playing standards at home for the practice and just for the fun of it.
If you are looking for lead sheets, someone just dropped off a link to a great site the other day.

Good evening.
Anyone here playing jazz (either publicly or just at home for him/herself)?

I'm a guitarist myself and I've been trying to play jazz for a while now. Most guitary are probably Django Reinhardt things and of course the great Grant Green's stuff.  But I have to say, I don't see the guitar as a worthy competition to sax and piano.

Anyway: If you have any tips on improvisation, online lessons, sheet music, tabs etc. or just experiences with playing jazz, I'd be happy to hear it.
