Jazz Improvisation Tips and Techniques

 

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to learn how to create or add licks and improvise. I'm new to improvising so I don't really have any idea about improvising on saxophone but I'm listening most of Warren Hill and Gerald Albright's songs since then and I love their play style. Well I have heared some vidoes that has some great licks and I'm looking forward on learning.

Thanks :)
