Here's an improvisational technique of creating a solo based upon the use of tension resolution. This excerpt (pages 68-71) from The Complete Guide To Improvisation showcases a step by step process of creating a solo on the standard "All The Things You Are". This improv technique can create rich, forward moving lines that sound the changes while avoiding licks. I use this concept with my students and get good results fairly quickly. Other solos in the book include "Stella By Starlight" and "All Of Me".
