Go to local gigs (if you can - how old are you?!!). Booker Little still turns me around, Art Farmer, Harry Sweets Edison, Miles.....

I also found blues a great springboard into jazz... and any of Art Blakey's bands, with any of his trumpeters!

And now comes the IMHO bit... sing along to Bill Evans records, Jim Hall, and any other pianist/guitarist that you feel a special affinity with (this can be done in your head!).
