Question Mark...

As I've mentioned in the past, when a musician regardless of genre improvises using language, just as you spontaneously speak when talking to others you should "jam" frequently. It can be live or with a backing track. The more you do it the more fluent you become at expressing yourself. Personally, since I've always loved the blues in any style (e.g. swing, funky, slow, shuffle, etc) that's a daily event for me. I also enjoy the energy, harmonic and rhythmic freedom of a simple vamp, and if I could pick just one jazz progression it would probably be the classic "I Got Rhythm" changes.
