the key: standards. we go into it with too high expectations of how great our improv should be.
strategy: restrict yourself to only play a few notes, say the notes of the dominant seventh. ex: F, A, C Eb.
improv doesn't have to be complex or fancy - the simple tunes, even using only a few notes, can be impressive without the performer even realizing it.
over time expand your range of notes.
standard jazz notes to improv on ex: Ab, Bb, C, D, Eb, F, G, Ab, Bb...
