It is much more difficult to jam on a track with vox because you have to know where all the spaces are for fills and lead runs. It means your playing has to be melodically strong because you don't have a lot of time to build up into something. Most singers would not be happy if you stepped all over their vocals. Instrumentals and songs are two different beasts requiring a different mindset in my opinion.
Take your best licks, Jim, from what you played and look for spaces to play them in.
