Here is a great way to expand your blues playing in every key! Slow tempos for all levels of ability. Try playing some of the tougher keys without looking at the music and see just how fast your ear takes over. You'll find yourself gaining confidence very quickly and that will greatly improve your soloing. Charlie Parker learned the blues in all 12 keys before he learned anything else. Transposed for all instruments. Each key contains a different blues melody and two compatible chord/scale progressions. Rhythm Section: James Williams (p); Bob Cranshaw (b); Mickey Roker (d).

A Wonderful Way to Learn to Play the Blues, Improvise and Play By Ear
If you want to play jazz and especially the blues, this book is a must. Sure start off with Abersold's "How to play jazz and improvise". If you are then drawn to the blues, get this book next. It starts with simple tunes to memorize and play against a backing track along with the Dominant scale or arpeggios against each cord change. You can start by playing the tune straight up against the backing track and them improvise using various scales (Dominant, Blues, Bebop, Pentatonic) against the backing track as the chords change. Then finish with an improv over the original tune. So the pattern is listen to the chord changes. Play the tune straight up over the chord changes. Call out the chord changes against the backing track. Play the first note of each cord change against the backing track. Improvise against each chord change. Play the tune straight, improvise, improvise over the tune etc. Some keys are going to be easier to improvise over then others. Forcing yourself to play over all twelve keys helps you become more fluent and forces you to start to play by ear. When you just need more information, I would recommend The Jazz Theory Book by Mark Levine. For instance, read up on how to use the Bebop scale and learn some Bebop licks to play against the backing track.
