You should also check out my 251 backing tracks in this playlist to help you apply what you have learnt. I've put these in a playlist here:   • 251 lessons and backing tracks  

It's aimed at those newish to jazz or those getting a bit stuck with 251s and not sure where to head with it. My approach is thorough, you need to be able to play over these with ease, in any key, as they are so common in jazz standards. Yes. it's a lot of work, but my approach is to build a solid foundation to help you be more musical in the long run. It's not about playing licks, it's about understanding the harmony and being able to outline the chords anywhere on the fretboard.
