in order to play jazz you want to know the tune really well, and just take it from there.

soloing in jazz is pretty much based on the chord changes of the song so if you learn your arpeggios and theory and learn the hell out of the standards, soloing will eventually come.

learn the major scale and how to alter it to fit certain chords, like what you need to change in order to make it minor, dominant, diminished, etc.

i would reccomend some jamey aebersold play-a-long books, go to your local music store and pick some out that have some of your favorite songs/artists and jam along. just keep playing, and you'll never stop learning!
