judge my improv plz
my fingers keep stuttering because i don't know what i'm doing when i improv. am i suppose to play chords with my left hand while i'm improvsing? i just played my right hand only, but don't know if that is the proper way of playing with the aebersold play along.

i always thought that if i add more classical phrases and runs to my stride piano playing, i could make myself sound a whole lot better than just playing little phrases, and thus more swingin'.
last 1/3 was best of all.
i wasn't keen on switching to the lead synth, since i favor your hammond organ sample.
since you had good backing fom the aebersold recording i wouldn't worry about the left hand. when you are more comfortable improvising you could work some shell chords in at that point. the better organ players will work the pedals as well for a bass line.
up of notes 1,3 or 1,7.
