I love jazz, and i love hearing people jam to 12 bar blues, and shuffles and all of the different styles of impov. My question to you is, Where do I start? I most often start trying to learn scales and theory (which I do know, its the applying it to chords that I'm bad at), and I get frustrated with all the different chord changes that come up. How do you know what to play in certain keys? I know that you can play anything in the given key, but what else can you play?

Also, what are some good books for learning jazz theory?
