   I was wondering if anyone could make some good suggestions on music that would help set good examples of flowing through changes in solos. I'm still very much a blues guy coming to the Jazz world and rely too heavily on the blues pentatonic scale style. I'm looking to improve my flow and be able to creatively pass through changes. I realize really all good jazz has examples but I'm looking for something that has really good application of different modes to help open my ears up. Thanks for any suggestions!

   I would suggest Red Garland. He really play ALL the changes and it's relatively easy to transcribe.

   You can't go wrong with Clifford Brown, sooo tasteful and definitely fluid:

    I would say any solo on "Chet Baker Sings" is perfect as an entrance in the jazz world. Pretty simple and timeless. (I actually transcribed all Chet's solos and all the harmonies on that record some years ago)
