these are chord markings. i'm not sure what the triangle represents as i've never seen it, but i'm assuming it's an E minor chord. everytime you see these letters over a solo, that is the best scale set to use that will sound good with the piano/guitar/bass. those who play guitar understand all the chords a little better then the rest of us. and how to improvise with these? it depends on what the style of the piece is. as it's funk, latin, swing, etc, need a different style to improvise. try and follow a similar rythme pattern that the piece is written in. hope this helps.

Too late by now, I hope it went well. Here are links to good sites.
