Pointing you at this since you ask, but with the strong caveat that all the advice I've been given has been to not buy this book and to instead transcribe everything yourself by ear, otherwise you're only cheating yourself of valuable ear training! https://www.scribd.com/document/429790409/PARKER-Charlie-Omnibook-pdf
Carbon fibre bows...
I want a carbon fibre bow just as a back up so I don't want to spend a fortune . Does anyone have any experience/ suggestions ?

I've used a col legno carbon fibre as my main bow for years, would recommend. About £120 or so
Practise Diaries — post your check-in here 📔
This is your spot to log what you're working on, whenever you practise. No pressure to post daily, just whenever you've had a session and want to note it down or share it. It could be something you've been working on, in your own time or with lessons with me. Anyone in here can post! Comment below with: 📅 Date: 🎻 What I worked on: ⏱️ Time practised: 🎉 One win: 🤔 One thing I'm stuck on: Doesn't need to be polished. A quick video or voice note works just as well if you'd rather show than write. I'll be dropping my own practise notes in here too, not just replying to yours. And if you've got a spare minute, leave a comment on someone else's check-in as well. Even just a "nice work" will help us all feel motivated to keep on keeping on! Drop your first check-in below 👇

I got Rhythm - take no.1
back after a hectic month, managed to pass austrian B1 language exam and then got the worst angina in my life.still on antibiotics but can finally stick the violin under my swollen throat.when i was in bed with a fewer i fell in love with Ola Kvernberg, what a crazy guy! Really worth checking out. Trying out his i got rhythm in G, kind of mapping the territory right now, ideas for licks and stuff from u guys are more than welcome! 🙏🥸💪😻

Re licks and language for this, have you had a go at learning a some more rhythm changes heads, e.g. Anthropology, Moose the Mooche, Crazeology? Pick some you like, learn the heads by ear and get them into G, and you'll probably find snippets of them come out in your improvising like magic
