listen to phrasing before you fix anything else. let matching phrases lead to matching pitch centers, then matching accompaniment. work mainly on the ensemble stuff in rehearsal and make it clear that group time is not time to run things to clean up solos. I had the fortune of hearing Sam Pilafian talk about the early days of Empire. He said they would rehearse for 2 hours, listen to the recording of that rehearsal and rehearse for another 2 hours. this is extreme, but very effective.
