Used FL Studio 11 and my Akai MPK mini. Made this in about 2 hours. not really a complete beat, but I'm more so focusing on getting better at mastering/sampling/effects to make my beats sound fuller. feedback encouraged in that area!
 
I think you're off to a good start with this. I like the piano line you have rolling throughout as well as the jazzy drums. Now I just think more elements could be added on top. Maybe think about chopping up Miles' trumpet playing in interesting ways, or adding your own strings on top. I think it's more fitting to keep the drums low-key in order to sustain that mellow vibe you have here. I could also see another sample be incorporated in here, perhaps a chill, pitched-down vocal sample. Just a few ideas.

I would just keep messing with it and see what works and what doesn't. Those were just a few ideas I had as I listened to it: https://www.futureproducers.com/for...ck/new-sample-based-beat-474267/#post49781615
