In this play along lesson I'm demonstrating a combination of rhythmic and harmonic tools that are useful for a wide range of musical situations whether "jazz" or "non-jazz", i.e. pop, R&B, soul..
while the groove is somewhat like a swing waltz, it contains a triplet-based feel that you'll also find in many 12/8 grooves from pop, soul, R&B, hip hop, etc.. for example Stevie Wonder (isn't she lovely) or Jacob Collier ("time alone with you")

rhythm- Utilizing the triplet subdivisions instead of playing double time. If you explore this you may find your triplet language to be underdeveloped and this results in using double time or duple rhythmic language which is 1) limiting and 2) can make your rhythmic language feel square
harmony- voice leading two pentatonic scales vs just using one.. the same limits and homogeneity apply to your harmonic language as they do your rhythmic language .
