1.) Know your scales! Being comfortable with your scales can allow you to be more comfortable when you solo.
2.) Play out! The louder and more confident you play, the less people will notice when you make mistakes.
3.) Be creative! Use reoccurring rhythms, syncopations, and jazz swing to keep your audience's attention.
4.) LISTEN. Listen to the rhythm section. Listen to other musician's improvisation. Listen to jazz in general!
5.) Less is more. You don't have to play ever second of the solo, in fact adding rests is characteristic of mature musicians.
