The best thing to do is listen to other performances and how the kb player put's fills , solo's and rhythm into songs. You don't want to play full triads when you play. You really want the 3rd and 5th notes usually in the 3rd or 4th octave range depending on the song. Playing the root note will conflict with either the bass or guitar. Try to fill in with some tasty fills, arps, and what I call twinkles between quiet parts. If the guitar solos, try to hold down the basic chords so the song stays grounded. Don't play left hand bass at all if you have a bass player, and be careful on your strumming to keep the beat with the drummer. And don't be afraid to use your horns, strings, flutes, and synths.
