Jazz Improvisation

I am a member of my school's jazz band, and I would like to improve on my improvisation skills. Whenever I am asked to solo on a song, I usually just play a bunch of notes that sound good. However I'm pretty sure that there is a certain structure to jazz improvisation that I'm not getting. If anyone could point me in the general direction on this, it would be appreciated. I play sax, if that helps at all. Thanks.
