There are two books that I have found really helpful, for a first dip into Jazz
improvisation:

Take Up Jazz. Art Marshall
Chester Music ISBN 0-906594-06-5

Creative Jazz Education. Richard Michael and Scott Stroman
Stainer & Bell ISBN 0 85249 778 4

I didn't think I liked Jazz but felt that, as a teacher, I should learn
something about it. However, I really enjoyed both these books. The first was
better for developing my own skills, while the Michael/Stroman book had great
ideas for group/classroom activities and includes lots of vamps. An
accompanying cassette is available.

Hope this may prove of some help.
