You can still have improved, but yet preconcieved solos. ike you figure out the solo before a performance.

Well...
Written out solos do sound nice, but I just love making up a solo on the spot. I'm pretty good at harmonizing and connecting melodies.
But when you make up a solo, you can channel the passion you feel and that just makes it all the better.
I express myself through my jazz solos. And I love it.

well, most solos are traditionally played on the spot that's why there are chord changes. and most musicians apply the same ideas to different songs. Like Charlie Parker for example. He uses multiple licks of the same style in almost every solo he plays. he'll just use them starting on different beats, in different keys, or in different spots of the progression. And if you do practice something enough, eventually you might get into a groove that ends up sounding the same every time you rehearse the section. This is something I try to avoid. Experiment a lot to get tons of different ideas I say.

I prefer improvising, but I lack experience and so improv solos on stage scare the crap outta me. xD

I make it all up once I start soloing. But sometime when I'm really nervous my friend would happy clam me down by giving me some licks to play during my solo.

I make up a lick, play it in every key a bunch of times then when I'm soloing I can just bust it out. Most of my stuff is made up on the spot though although I use licks from my repertoire.

Well, I would usually find an appropriate opener or closer to my solo (just so I can start and end on a good note) other then that, improv with maybe a few preconceived ideas here and there. I'd never practice and memorize and entire solo, dear no.

I have a lot of different licks memorized, and a lot of the time I string them together to make a solo. Sometimes I'll use a rythm in my head and just add some notes into it. But I almost always have a part in my solo that sounds similar to a part in the song.
Yes - always improvised.

It depends on where yer at for me. Ill improv at all places but if im a jazz gig where i can tell the people their are their because they have heard alot of jazz then ill play a lil famous solo just to get a hoop and holler from the crowd.But if its a crowd i know wouldnt apreciate that sorta thing ill just play what i feel to get a bgger reaction.

on the spot... When you've played with Gordon Goodwin, Clark Terry, Wayne Bergeron, Steve Weist, Buddy Defranco, and a ton of other great artists, you realize how much better solos are when they are made on the spot.

I had a couple solos when I played the bari sax in jazz band. Some of the solos were built into the music.. so I had no choice. For example the song... "Black Coffee"... the beginning was all bari. There were other times when the director wrote one for me and I played it as written. (you don't cross the director.. lol) I always practiced the solos... I was and still am afraid to improvise. If I had the creative juices to improvise on the spot... maybe.. but I am lacking in that area. rolleyes
