I read a jazz book that said if you hit a wrong note, it is usually one note off from the right one. When that happens to me, I just use the wrong note as a passing note and resolve it.



There are no wrong notes in jazz it's all in how you sell it to the crowd. "Wow, did you hear that?", "Yeah, cool man!"

There have been times where I'll try to incorporate something new into a solo and totally screw it up especially if it's up tempo. I remember thinking this isn't the best thing I've ever done yet on a break one of the other players will comment on how much they liked it. If it's not total and complete trash, you can make most anything work with some experience. I've heard this on records by the best in the world. There's some things I'm sure are big screwup's but they're so good they can simply pause for a few seconds or just do a quick rhythmic vamp or something like that.
