*coughs, grabs microphone, turns it up to 11*

There isn't Jazzy Scales!!!
Jazz is the combination of advanced chords voicings, with melodic lines that keep switching between scales.
What will make your lines 'jazzier' is adding some arpeggios and chromatic notes in your lines...
Exemple:
Bluesy type of feel.

-----5--8--5------------------
---5--------------------------
-5-----------------------------
--------------------------------
---------------------------------
--------------------------------
Jazzy type
-----45-8--5------------------
---45-------------------------
45-----------------------------
--------------------------------
---------------------------------

Those notes aren"t in a scale, but it does sound jazzy, if you play those 4s on upbeats.
