Great work. It takes guts to post something like that. I will let the jazz players chime in with suggestions but I think you are on the right track!

Great lines and note choices! You play a lot of things very well! Keep working on the fundamentals of trumpet playing; sound, evenness of fingers, etc. Playing with finesse and beauty requires a lot of attention to just playing the trumpet very well, and believe me, you are well on your way! Keep at it, you're going to do very well.

Kozbob,
the beat is the basic pulse. Even after you record a cut like this, you need to tap your foot to it and see if the beat is constant. Especially when you start to play with a jazz rhythm section, they get into a groove and your playing has match that time.
Your choice of notes is good. I did not vote because I do not think that those choices qualify. You are working hard to become a great soloist and THAT is the most important thing here.
keep up the good work!

Nice work, but try to make your ideas flow a little smoother.
sounded a bit choppy to me, my teacher tells me (I'm working
on the same thing) to "think across the barlines/changes."
