Very interesting tune, brave choice to arrange this.

Some things that I noticed:

Include a dynamic marking at the beginning (I suggest mf)

Just a suggestion, maybe use a different key? Although it is in Ab, it's not Ab major (probably dorian or mixolydian, not sure from first glance). Try a key with 6 flats and see if that eliminates repetitive accidentals

The staccatos over the eighth notes are redundant (the length of the eighth suggests short articulation already)

meas 12 I'm not too convinced those notes should be on the beat (I heard upbeats in the recording still)

There's a sick bassline missing starting at measure 18! The upbeat notes 19-25 become least important imo, so move the LH line you already have t the RH and try transcribing the bassline in the recording to the LH (keep the RH with beat 4 of 25 as well as all of 26)

Also, there's a sudden change in volume at meas 19, so I'd mark the new dynamic F as well as accenting the main line there.

Lastly, some spacing issues towards the end. Highlight all the measures and press (ctrl+4 or cmd+4 for mac) to space things out nicely.

Also, drag the last measure to the left so it's un-stretched.

Best of luck with the edits!

In addition to the above changes, Ben went ahead and made some adjustments for you. He made rhythm and pitch fixes on bass solo m. 1-2; filled in missing chord tones from pizzicato strings m. 3-9 & corrected accidentals; m. 10 rhythms and pitches bass solo.

Here is a file with the above edits Ben made:
