I'm in a similar situation, just starting to play with a
Community College jazz band - I've found that the following
can help:

1) Play only one chord per measure.

2) Simplify - play nothing more complicated than a 7 chord
or triad when the going gets tough (keep the chord quality
though - major, minor, augmented, diminished).

3) Learn Freddie Greene style rhythm playing - get "Swing
and Big Band Guitar" by Charlton Johnson from Hal Leonard
Publishers ISBN - 0-7935-7381-5.

Hope this helps.
