To bridge the gap between classical and jazz, practice scales. Major, all forms of minor, diminished, modal, etc. -- In all keys. For basic Blues practice the "Blues" scale (ie. in C Major- up & down-- C-Eb-F-F#-G-Bb-C-Bb-G-F#-F-Eb-C.)
Find a group that plays jazz/dixie/pop music. Write out solos and ad lib from there. Get to a point where you can jump in with a solo with nothing written.
It's not easy. I learned some of that while teaching H.S. Jazz Band. Had no "formal" training. Lots of fun, though. As a professor of mine at the U. of Regina once said "I'm not a Jazz player, I play AT Jaz".
