Too often musicians waste their time in the practice room learning musical language only to forget it later. The problem often comes down to the actual learning process. If you don't learn the material in a way that allows you to internalize it, you're not going to get good results from your time investment.
It all comes down to repetition. But repetition is more than just playing something over and over again. It all has to do with approaching the jazz language you are learning from different angles.
