I like your conversion as lot, and overall the captures are good. A few things I can think off to help you improve are:
-Try to capture more energy or expression in the musician's faces as they perform, such as you did with the drummer. I know it's hard if they're not very animated while playing, you may have to just be ready at the right when they do 'strike a pose' or such. If that doesn't work, try talking them into trying harder while you're shooting, just as you might direct a model in any other shoot.
-Include the performer's instrument, or at least a recognizable part of, whenever possible. Case in point pic#2 of I assume the guitar player. I assume because all I see is a strap on his shoulder.
-Simplify the backgrounds. A few here have blurred backgrounds, which is good, but when focal length and/or distance from the bg don't let you blur it, try to place any distracting elements so they're not distracting - even better if they can be eliminated. Case in point the mechanical thing on the wall behind the drummer. All this bg stuff is moot though if you're including bg elements to portray the surrounding though, IMO the choice of what to use and how is much harder in that case.
I hope you take all the above as the friendly, constructive criticism is was intended to be, and that something of it might help you.
Cheers,
David
