I'm new to Jazz and need help self teaching

[TheEnlightenedBiglet]

I bought two used Cornets and a Clarinet on eBay. The cornets are fe olds (Ambassador and Super), with serial numbers that date them to the late 40s-early 50s. I had them appraised, I'm not just stroking my ego here.
My clarinet is a wooden selmer with the serial number, "7916". My trumpets have already been checked and fixed to working condition, and my clarinet is in the shop right now for a couple weeks. I need general tips on self teaching for both.
I haven't been able to learn the Clarinet yet, so I'll say where I'm at on my trumpets. I have established a solid embouchure (although it needs work for sure), and I have learned my major scale. Any tips regarding self teaching music would help a lot! Thanks libs

1. I been exploring the fretboard for 49 years and I'm still learning.

Perhaps you should try online. I use True fire for learning and adding to my chops best of luck friend.

2. Just the title of your response made me happy, thank you!

I'll be sure to check this out for sure. I'll use any tools at my disposal to learn jazz. I love jazz more than most people do, and to be able to create something even a fraction as good as what I listen to would make me a happier person!

7. A real musician never stops learning.

That has been my experience, at least.

3. Check out some Jamey Aebersold play-along books

He has a whole series. The first, Volume 1 is titled - How to play jazz and improvise.

4. Thank you!

I actually tried using a play along book, but it didn't teach me the note fingerings so even being able to read what notes it wanted me to play didn't really help me. I appreciate this I'll look into it.

5. I'm a big fan of the "For dummies" books for all sorts of things.

There's a "Trumpet for dummies" and a "Clarinet for dummies"
Good Luck!

I play jazz guitar and I'm learning to play the violin.

6. I always thought these were joke books, so:

Very helpful thank you dude!
