All set to enhance your jazz piano improvisation improvisation skills for the piano? Much more just, if you're playing a tune that remains in swing time, then you're already playing to a triplet feel (you're visualizing that each beat is split into 3 eighth note triplets - and every off-beat you play is delayed and played on the 3rd triplet note (so you're not also playing 2 uniformly spaced 8th notes to start with).
So as opposed to playing 2 8 notes in a row, which would certainly last one quarter note ('one' - 'and'), you can divide that quarter note right into three 'eighth note triplet' notes - where each note of the triplet is the same size. The very first improvisation technique is 'chord tone soloing', which suggests to compose melodies making use of the four chord tones of the chord (1 3 5 7).
I typically play all-natural 9ths over many chords - including all 3 chords of the major ii-V-I. This 'chordal texture' seems ideal if you play your right-hand man loudly, and left hand (chord) a bit quieter - to ensure that the audience hears the melody note ahead.
It's great for these rooms to come out of range, as long as they wind up solving to the 'target note' - which will usually be among the chord tones. The 'chord range above' technique - precede any type of chord tone (1 3 5 7) with the note over. In songs, a 'triplet' is when you play three equally spaced notes in the space of 2.
Now you might play this 5 note range (the wrong notes) over the same C minor 7 chord in your left hand. With this technique you simply play the same notes that you're already playing in the chord. Chord scale over - half-step below - target note (e.g. E - C# - D).
NOTE: You additionally obtain a good collection of actions to play, from 7 - 1 - 9 - 3 - if you intend to play a brief scale in your solo. However, to quit your playing from sounding foreseeable (and break out of eighth note pattern), you need to differ the rhythms from time to time.
