Free Stuff - National Jazz Workshop.
Perhaps for jazz a little Bert Ligon would help, people seem to like his Connecting Chords with Linear Harmony book. The best approach for me is to read and study and learn from books, but in the end compare that info with actual songs I like to play, see how the real players do it.

Bert Ligon's Connecting Chords with Linear Harmony is an essential resource for learning jazz improvisation. While the book is introductory and self-contained, those without some background in elementary jazz theory (major and minor scales, seventh chords, ii-V-I progressions in major and minor) will probably struggle a bit with the material.
Bert Ligon is USC's director of jazz studies. He received his Bachelor of Music and his Master of Music in jazz piano performance and arranging from the University of North Texas. With his jazz band, Bert Ligon and Condor, he has released two albums world-wide, has written and performed extensively, has received many awards including national PBS awards, a KATIE, a SECA, and an EMMY nomination.
