This article takes the opposite approach to mine. It spends three of its four points on using punctuation more freely and creatively, then, almost as an afterthought, notes that you should know the incorrect usages so you can avoid them.

I’d say: learn the conventions solidly and first (they are just conventions, but literate people will expect you to follow them). Then, once you have mastered your scales and arpeggios, start your jazz improvisation.
