Jazz Clue 2 question

I’m wondering about the solo arrangements with Jazz Clue 2 applied to these songs or any lead sheet. do we typically play the melodies as written or up an octave higher? At times it feels like the LH 7ths are too low or overlap with the melody as written for instance in The Mirron. To me the LH 7ths sound best in the mid-range.

I play the melody where written. The LH will sometimes be very close or even overlapping a bit with the melody but I don’t see that as problematic. I think it’s great for students to get comfortable with having hands just about on top of each other. I agree that most of the time, the LH sounds best in the Mid-range.
