I wish it wasn't his default. I like his solo on LIOG a lot, but on other old tunes like BOWA it doesn't work super well.



Been trying to figure out why he goes to it so much. He's a phenomenal player and his parts are tasteful as hell. I think it comes down a couple things:

- This is a big band with a horn section and two guitars; one of those guitarists is Tim Reynolds, who is loud. Organ (especially with the drawbars the way Buddy often has them set) cuts through better than piano, rhodes, etc.

- In an early interview with him, he said the first question Dave asked is if he plays organ. I think Dave might prefer it.
