FreeHere you find the basic knowledge to work with the modes on a II V I progression in jazz guitar. In this case it's Am7 / D7 / Gmaj7 / Gmaj7.

FreeHere you find the tabs of one chorus smooth jazz improvisation over the chords of sunny. The level is intermediate so that most of you guys have a chance to fulfill the task. This improvisation works around the main positions of the A and G minor pentatonic since this tune works around 2 keys and this way you can play in positions which are already comfortable for you guys. Beside the improvisation I have added the modes and arpeggios in those 2 positions I am talking about. You should also check them out to get a better understanding and orientation during your improvisation. The audio files are the improvisation with the backing track and the backing track itself.
