I'm not aware of anything specific that Biab does but most of the Real Track soloists have Real Charts attached to them. Those are actual recorded solo's by some of the best players on the planet. Just studying what they did on those charts help a lot.

Now, here's the part you won't like. There's no shortcuts with this. The top players are not simply playing one mode, scale, whatever over a set of changes. No, I wish it were that simple. They're playing one mode for two changes, switching it up to a different one for one bar, doing something else for the next couple bars, yet another one for a turnaround and then for the second time through it's different again. That's their genius that their minds can work that fast. I watched a Tony Monaco video where he's playing left hand bass on organ and some very technical stuff with his right and he's casually talking into a mic saying stuff like, that's a mixolydian scale there oh, that's nice, I did a half diminished arpeggio, then here's a cool blues scale run and this is just for the first 8 bars or so. Amazing. He vamps like that for about 10 minutes and it's all different and he's talking and explaining while he's playing this unbelievable stuff.

Here's three names to look up on Youtube:

Michael Wolfe. He's a heavyweight studio cat with a big resume including being Arsenio Hall's musical director. He has a set of instructional videos that are really good because they're not too structured like a class would be. He just sits at his piano and casually talks concepts and plays them. Excellent stuff. Maybe 10 videos.

Marius Nordal. He's a professor of music somewhere and is a killer player. His videos are much more scholarly and equally excellent. He goes into exactly what you're asking, all the various modes, scales, how to finger them, how to practice them and how to use them in different tunes. He's posted over 50 videos.

Dave Frank. I put him at the top of the heap. Very advanced. He's posted 15 Master Classes that are over an hour each and very deep. Master Class indeed. This is for people who are already Julliard grads and such. They're fascinating to watch and try to learn something but frankly they are pretty much over my head. I understand a lot of it intellectually but my chops aren't good enough to put most of it to use but I have managed to pick up a few things. One example is one video is all about Oscar Peterson. Frank plays a portion of Oscars blazing fast playing from a famous recording, then he plays it himself, same tempo, just as good but stops and explains in detail exactly what is happening then picks it up again and stops, explains and so on. Dave Frank is one baaad cat on piano.

These videos are all free. Check them out. I've downloaded all of them and studying them will keep me busy for the rest of my life.
