If you want to play it, then try it. You wont learn jazz if you don't play jazz...

That piece is not real jazz. For starters, it has no improvisation in it whatsoever.

Yes! (assuming that this is you playing)
Some of my opinions; 0:13-0:14 0:21-0:22 when you enter the phrase perhaps make strong beat stand out more. 0:24-0:25 make the last chord release sharper so that the entry of the next phrase is more clear (i.e make the breath, absence of sound slightly more obvious to highlight the phrasing). 0:34-0:35 the Rh last chord is too gentle so your entry of the next phrase sounds too weak. 0:45-0:46 needs some tempo control (broadening) to make the entry of the next phrase more logical. 0:56-0:57 the three notes in the RH melody perhaps could be broadened slightly. 1:15 those RH high chords which end the phrases need to sound more like they end the phrase, they also need to perhaps interact with a LH more, and the LH can be phrased at this point. 1:40-1:42 the tempo slow down to me seems too sudden (perhaps it is written to do it there) perhaps it could start to happen more gradual. 1:42 slow part needs to brood much more and tempo should be elastic 2:08 needs to surprise us more so that the speed comes back into it and excites us, more contrast between the slow to fast will achieve this. 2:22 make the LH walking bass the star and the RH merely supporting, but 2:35 the RH starts to take over (over do the RH more, the sharp accents need to challenge that LH) and challenge the LH.
You deserve to buy yourself a better piano and stop smoking at the piano, it looks like you blow smoke into the center of the piano, the brown keys!
