Start off by listening to a ton of jazz. Afterwards, learn your major, minor, dorian, and mixolydian scales/modes. Check youtube, there's a ton of good tutorials if you don't know them yet. Then buy a real book and start attempting to follow along with the changes. Start with just the root notes and later add the 3rds and 5ths. Here's a book that I think explains walking basslines pretty well, and another one if you're interested in soloing.
Here's a list of jazz songs most students learn early on:
Afro Blue
All Blues
All Of Me
All The Things You Are
A Night In Tunisia
Au Privave
Autumn Leaves

A great exercise book that can be used (sort of) to accompany the scale reference thing that the Grimoire does is Patterns for Jazz: Bass Clef version. It's loaded with exercises and I use it regularly.
