I don't know, I don't really mind the scat solos so much, but they very much need a keyboardist, even if it's not Butch, whom I LOVE hearing. A keyboardist is the one thing missing from DMB's sonic palette. They already have a guitarist, although he's more of a rhythm guitarist. Having no keys is a hole that my ears say needs to be filled. I think of them as more of a jazz-leaning band than a hard rock-leaning band, which is how they often sound with so much Tim on every song. The rest of the band don't play off him as well or seem to know where to fit him in as well as they did with Butch.
