For the chords, I'll mark up a lead-sheet when I find "cool" chords I like better than the vanilla chords. For the solo section, I just learn the transcription by studying it and when playing...
I steal easy licks from the great Jazz recordings, repeatedly play the licks on my guitar until they hopefully magically appear in my improv. This takes months of repeatedly trying to play the licks...
