Hi, You may find some interesting things to work on regarding comping in "An Approach to Comping: The Essentials" published by Sher Music. Basically, it's a guide to help you comp along with real jazz recordings. It's fun, and really can unlock a lot of secrets. If you can comp along with Horace Silver, Barry Harris, and Red Garland etc. then eventually you'll be speaking the language of comping and be able to creatively comp with confidence. Good Luck.
P.S. Vol 2: "An Approach to Comping: Advanced Concepts and Techniques" is due to be released Jan. 8th. Check out shermusic.com.
