Two strong recommendations for purchase which are not from Aebersold are:
For improvisation (Hal Crook Advance music), in three volumes (start vol: 2), and the music of Ron Miller (Miller,Ronjam music).
Crooks comping (and bass lines) are superb and reflect the freer manner of comping so prevalent in modern pianists.
Miller is the quintessential composer of contemporary jazz tunes(very challenging chord/scale types).
