Except what he goes on to say, especially in the World Cafe interview, is that he is far more interested in the musicians playing "their notes" and not "the notes".
A violinist coming into the band now would just be trying their best to copy the album version of the violin. Bringing in a piano did not have that weight hanging over it.
