I can recommend Nic Svarc if you look for him on Facebook. Fantastic player, hugely knowledgeable, and doing loads of Skype stuff during lockdown. Of course there are a million guys out there, feel free to do your own research, but make sure they can play the stuff you want to learn beforehand. Lots of teachers say they can teach jazz, but they have zero grasp of the language, theory, fundamentals etc, and are, frankly, bluffers. I'll say it again....please if you want to do this invest in a proper 121 teacher.

What I was trying to point out is that following a chord scale approach and voice leading appropriately will give you strong lines -though there is nothing wrong with, for example, quoting lines from other tunes to come up with melodic lines or constructing melodic lines by hearing them first. I enjoy both methods but tend to prefer CST I like the fact that is a bit like a mathematical puzzle to me and that's how my brain works I guess.
I'll report back when I'm amazing at this jazz lark. It might be a decade or two.
