Here's a Mimi Fox video lesson on all kinds of great jazz ryhthm and more...

 

http://www.guitarplayertv.com

 

On the list to the left select, Truefire Lessons.

 

Then select Jazz Anatomy. This vid lesson will show you TONS.

 

Shows comping, block chords, and solo'ing...all from a Jazz Blues comp'ing stand point. You'll get a lot out of these vids.

This book is GREAT. And you can find it for pretty cheap.

It's got position markings though, so it's relatively easy to read. You're unlikely to be able to sight read it, unless you're at a stage that you probably don't need the book.
