This video is about Getting Creative with Jazz Standards.  On the video and in the included charts, Jon Wheatley walks thru basic changes of standard tunes and then demonstrates how to expand on them to add color and variety.  These embellishments (or choices) are as vital to the improvising as they are to the comping or chord soloing. The emphasis is not primarily on "far out re-harm's" but rather "really getting the tune happening."
