Learn jazz standards and be able to play them cold. Practice playing straight 8th notes through the chord changes - make sure you can hear the chords behind your solo. I can't think of anything else off-hand. But I'll get back if I do. =]

Bass Guitar.

Post in the Double Bass (DB) technique category and you'll get what I'd consider better responses. Those guys know their jazz, over here not always true.

I enjoy....

Seven Steps to Heaven- Miles Davis
Jordu- Duke Jordan (Sometimes hard to find. try the recording of US Navy Commodores and omit the latin intro)
Syeedas Song Flute- J.Coltrane

Very fun and challenging pieces.
