I've been playing in a jazz band for about 6 years and when I am put in a situation where I will need to improvise, I go home and listen to jazz and blues music. Blues is a great place to look because the majority of music is based off of the blues and blues scales.
Oh, speaking og scales. I know everyone hates them, but they really do help. Even if you can just get all of 12 major, minor, and blues scales down, you'd be ina a very very good place.
