I am enjoying this tutorial and find your arrangement relatively easy and fun to play.  As a request would you be willing to provide supplement sheet to this arrangement that shows the relevant scales matching the chord progression, similar to what you have done for the “Basic Jazz Improvement 4 (I-IV-V-/V7) tutorial. It would be a great help for me.

Kind regards,

Greg

You can use the following modes :

On all the half bar chords I would just go for the chord tones of each chord. I think I spoke about the improvisation at the end of the tutorial.

In the B section with all these dominant 7 chords - use mixolydian on all off them.

In fact this tune is not so easy to improvise because the theme define pretty much the mood of the song. So best would be to stick to the theme and just make some variations if you are not such an experienced player with jazz improvisation.
