This song sounds so cool in one! You did a great job with the piano ornaments; I think it would be even better if there were more of them. I feel like the bass could be brought out more and maybe given some more ring/reverb in the entire song, but especially when it's moving around by itself. At 1:39 (and 0:25), it has a really important lead-in that I really liked that's nearly lost and then it becomes almost impossible to hear for the conclusion. At 0:31.5ish, the parallel motion in the multiple notes in the piano melody sounds a little odd when it's that rapid; I would just have one moving line and land on chords rather than play chords on every note. At 1:32, I think the piano should just play it straight; the amount of swing and ornamentation there feels out of place.
This is a really cool arrangement, I enjoyed it a lot!
