Pay extra attention to Sandra's excellent explanation of where to place the notes of the chord vs the notes in between.

She knows the drill.

I bet she knows that her pianist needs to work that drill a bit more, too.

"Taste"

It is not a gift, taste can indeed be developed and is a learned thing.

Sometimes good taste in music may simply involve sitting out a passage, or NOT playing.

Or playing less.

No matter where on the Ladder of Musical Knowledge you are, the concept of building a solo into something that makes sense and reason is paramount to success. This can be done with very few notes if you strive for it. Or it can involve thousands of notes. Start small and build. State, reiterate. Call, response. Introduction, Statement, Review of Statement, Refine of Statement, Variation of Statement, Climax, Anti-Climax. Work on the handoffs, too.
