Big +1 on comping along with chordless trio recordings. A good way to regularly feel bad about yourself, but also ideally to expand your ears hahaha.
Some others to add are:
-kenny Garrett triology
-max roach+4

When playing with radio, I sometimes play against it, having thought of an idea, or wanting to stick with one lick. If playing with the music, it helps me find a groove, is better than a metronome, and the most important thing is a DJ is choosing the music, which challenges me with choices I would not have thought of.
I wanted to replace solo tracks on a recording I had done with a quintet, using electric viola. Playing my electric mandolin to match the exact timing and feel of an earlier session was a real challenge. The practice of playing along with radio helped, I feel.
Playing along with radio is like joining an open-stage jam, but available when I want, daily.
